[Ukfreebsd] nice little storage server for 112GBP

How's the driver support on the hardware? I spotted this device last 
week while researching NAS devices for the office and at that price 
(didn't know about the rebate) it's very tempting to get one to play 
with at home...

Any chance you could email me a dmesg output for it?

Thanks,

Timothy
