Hello Matthew!
You can read my experience with the TX4310 controller (same as TX2300
but with 4 ports and RAID5 support - TX4300 doesn't have RAID5):

I hope you will get it work with the 'atacontrol' command:

The problem for me with atacontrol was that after booting Windows my
/dev/arX device always has been destroyed.
My solution was:
Buying a 3ware 8006-2LP 2-port SATA HARDWARE RAID Controller which has
better performance than the TX4310 although it's SATA and not SATA-II
and also very good Linux support.
Regards and Good Luck!

Greetings,
I have a Promise TX2300 (latest BIOS 2.5.0.3122) that I'm trying to use
with 6.2R. I set up a two disk mirror using the card's BIOS utility,
but when I go to install FBSD my disk selection is only ad4 and ad6, the
array is not being recognized (I believe I should have an ar0 in the
list as well).
I can install on a single disk just fine, I just can't get FBSD to see
the array. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matthew
