Not sure on the NIC, but the CF and the CF to IDE adapter are the exact same ones I got and my FreeNAS build is running perfectly off them. The only problem I had with them was in the case I have it was blocking the SATA ports on the harddrive and it blocked me from putting the cover back on my case as well. I got an IDE extension cable and repositioned the card and adapter out of the way and it still boots up and runs just fine.
This is the adapter I got if you have a similar issue with that: http://www.pccables.com/01811.html
