I will explain in other words: My "homework" is not to rely in drivers that are external to FreeBSD core, as pfSense too.
What I did as pfSense recommends is to compare to this list: http://www.pfsense.com/index.php?id=37 As you can see the card is listed ;-) So how can pfSense do an raid !? This is my point :-) About your comment about carp is good, but don't forget that big companies don't want cheap machines. They want reliable machines.
