I am finding that out the more I research this card. I have found, however, that it does work fairly stable in Linux (sorry for dropping the L-bomb) assuming that your hard-drive is not of a certain model. If it is, the driver still works, but runs in a diminished capacity. That said, one thing I noticed when reading the ata man page (I forgot sometimes how awesome FreeBSD man-pages are!), the SiI3112 is listed as a compatible chipset. I am e-mailing this issue directly to the maintainer as a result. If the chipset is not supported, and it seems like it isn't in a stable configuration, I would think this should be ammended. Thanks again fro the help!
