Something like that. With FreeBSD and Linux, there's certain hardware you're likely to find in the data center, and the newest stuff usually is a bad choice because usefully meaningful support in the form of stable drivers in a released version of the OS aren't available for ~6-12 months. There are people who will plow their way through the quagmire and try to use it anyways, but it's for the masochistic.
With Windows, no one wants to go and write new Windows 10 drivers for their old gear. Not even Intel.
So is there a database out there of supported NICs (and possibly other hardware?) on the FreeNAS platform?
If so that would be awesome and very helpful.
