Does anybody know if NIC Realtek RTL8151GH-CG is supported on FreeBSD
9.2 or 10.0?

It is included in HP ProDesk 490 MT which I may buy, but I cannot find
what hardware parts are supported by FreeBSD and what not.
I am running FreeBSD for about 13 years on servers.
I didn't run it on desktop grade HW for more than 8 years. So any tips
for some solid home PC with i7-4770 (or i7-3770?) is appreciated. :)

Hrm, well:

% grep -iR RTL8151 /sys/dev/
/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs:product ABOCOM RTL8151 0x401a RTL8151

So, maybe?

It confuses me, because RTL8151GH-CG should be onboard NIC, not USB one.

Thank you for your reply anyway.

Some onboard adapters/cards are USB or quasi-USB, seen by the system as USB.

Examples with the MSI Z77 MPOWER motherboard are the Atheros AR9271 wi-fi and the Atheros AR3001 (?) Bluetooth.

But I thought onboard Ethernet would be PCI or PCIE, at least I believe it usually is.

I've never used Bluetooth and have no Bluetooth devices to test the Atheros AR3001.
