-current has only very recently added "initial Host AP bits" for athn(4) so you probably won't get a lot of feedback on that yet... > Also, I have looked for information on the Multi-port ADSL card for > BSD, but have not really found anything. Is this card supported. No. The only reasonably easily available PCI ADSL card likely to work is Traverse's single-port one (viking, I think) which presents as a Realtek NIC. (It's basically a separate router + a nic glued together onto one PCI card). > I need to be able to do multi-wan with two ADSL2+ connections. You can do that with two of the 1-port cards, or some combination with external routers, using PF route-to or multipath routing. > One of the main reasons for wanting to switch is PF.

Not sure exactly what Solos runs on the host cpu, maybe some of ADSL protocol too. I think you are asking rather a lot of a low-power geode-based system...
