Open (and Free) BSD with Jmicron 20339 USB <-> SATA II chipset

Hello!

Some time ago I did something stupid, I bought 4 harddisk cases (sata -> USB) without checking enough if it is supported by my choise of OS.
I was thinking of using FreeBSD on my new NAS (a sunblade 100), but after discovering that is didn't work, I started to search for information.
I found an article saying that Linux had som problems with Jmicron chipset, and this was also concerning FreeBSD (according to the information).

I then tried with OpenBSD, with more success than on FreeBSD, but not successfully enough.

Is there any one of you that knows more than me abouth this chipset and the BSD systems? Is there a way to get the disks to work?
And if not, is there anyone of you that know of a Linux Distribution that support the Jmicron 20339 chipset, AND have support for the sparc64 arcitecture?

I would appriciate any help you can give me, I'm getting desperate (and too much of my hair is turning grey now!).

Thanks in advance!

Ps.
And if someone answers "UBUNTU!" for the linux question, could you please tell me where to find an iso image? I havn't found any at all. =(
DS.

NAME
cue -- CATC USB-EL1210A USB Ethernet driver SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device uhci device ohci device usb device cue Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): if_cue_load="YES" DESCRIPTION
The cue driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the Computer Access Technology Corporation's USB-EL1210A chipset. The USB-EL1210A supports a 512-bit multicast hash filter, single perfect filter entry for the station address and promiscuous mode. Packets are received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints. The CATC chipset supports only 10Mbps half-duplex mode, hence there are no ifmedia(4) modes to select. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8). HARDWARE
The cue driver supports CATC USB-EL1210A based USB Ethernet adapters including: o Belkin F5U011/F5U111 o CATC Netmate o CATC Netmate II o SmartBridges SmartLink DIAGNOSTICS
cue%d: watchdog timeout A packet was queued for transmission and a transmit command was issued, however the device failed to acknowledge the transmission before a timeout expired. cue%d: no memory for rx list The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring. SEE ALSO
arp(4), netintro(4), ng_ether(4), ifconfig(8) HISTORY
The cue device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.0. AUTHORS
The cue driver was written by Bill Paul <wpaul@ee.columbia.edu>. BSD July 16, 2005 BSD
