You can see here for the hardware release notes:

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/relnotes.html

However, your NIC is not included but there is development pending it in
freebsd-current@

The direct link is to:

My reason is that I have a new computer with the ASUS motherboard in 
an Intel Core2 Duo configuration.  This board has an ATTANSIC 
Technology Corp. L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter on it which apparently is 
fairly new and may not be supported.  I have found with Linux that the 
Debian distros, the Gentoo distros and the SUSE distros all support 
this (Ubuntu, Mepis, Open SUSE, Sabayon, OpenGEU) while the Slackware 
ones will in the next release.  I would like to use the BSD release if 
it can support this ethernet adapter but the older PC-BSD did not.  Is 
there a release that does include this ethernet device?  I have been 
looking for something that lists the hardware supported and I keep 
running into something that says check the release to see the hardware 
support info but so far all I find is that notice.  I don't find the 
hardware support list anywhere.


Thanks.

You will find the relevant info here:

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/hardware.html

Concerning the Attansic, my eeepc has a 100Mbit one, which is not 
supported.  Yours is probably unsupported too.
