Well, if it's any reassurance at all, a friend of mine recently switched to FreeBSD from Andrew Linux, and the 3c509 was flaky under Linux, but seems to work fine under FreeBSD. Given past experiences, I advised him not to put it under too high a load, but since it's just a crash machine anyway.. They were really amused when the FreeBSD boot sequence announced that the card was known buggy and something should be done about it, and they commented that that was exactly right and they were pretty impressed. Even more so when the card worked for a change.
