There is little hope anyone here in particular would be able to tell you
for sure.
But the greatest part in support of hardware would be from the kernel,
which is known and which has a whole document on the subject, by release.
For 8.0, here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/hardware.html
Though your best bet is to try it by yourself. Free Software also means
you can try it without having to pay anything. You just need to
download, write it to a CD/DVD/USBkey/TFTPserver/whatever, and test.
That's yet another benefit of it.
You're Free!
