IIRC both mpt(4) and bce(4) have vendor supported drivers, so I'd be
surprised if they didn't work well. Here at work, we had some issues
with a bce(4) device in about 20 of our Dell boxes running RELENG_6_2
and David Christensen (Broadcom employee) helped fix them and make them
work lovely (allowing us to cancel an order of ~20 PCIE em cards :)
