It is partially supported, in that freebsd should be able to boot and
run on the Utilite box (I'm not sure anyone has done it yet).  But for
your needs, we don't have all the support yet -- there is no driver for
the wifi chip, and nobody has worked on PCIe yet so the second nic won't
work right now.
