The 3124 is listed as supported in the "ad" manpage. However, in general
a lot of people (including me) have had troubles with Silicon Image
chipsets (google("freebsd sil3112 timeout") etc). I have had trouble
with at least the 3112 and the 3114.

I recommend some Googling on the specific situation with the 3124.
