I have MSI Z77 MPOWER motherboard with onboard AR9271 quasi-USB chip and would be glad to be a tester on FreeBSD-current. Bug in re driver makes this particular version of Realtek 8111E Ethernet not work in FreeBSD or OpenBSD as of 5.3, but good in NetBSD-current amd64 and Linux. I notice NetBSD and OpenBSD have athn driver which includes AR9271. On how I update FreeBSD source tree with no Internet access through FreeBSD, I built subversion from pkgsrc on a NetBSD-current amd64 USB-stick installation, and use that successfully. With GPT, NetBSD accesses FreeBSD partition with no problem reading disklabels. OpenBSD, from live USB (http://liveusb-openbsd.sourceforge.net/), can't read my hard drive at all, due to lack of GPT support.
