5.1 harware

[pippo at bellnet.ca]

I have been unable to install 5.1, 5 or 4.8 releases on MSI 875P-NEO-FIS2R 
motherboard.
I am led to believe, from reading the documentation, that the Intel ICH5R 
chipset and the Intel 82547EI (CSA interface) for Lan are not supported. 
They are rather recent...
Is there a foreseeable future when these will be integrated?
I am using a 3Ghz P4 and would love to use my system with FreeBSD (5.1 
preferred) as my 4.8 is running on an old "dog" but a nice one...
