I am not a guru at this, but look at the pci ids etc for this in the  
boot dmesg and then look at the source for this driver and see if  
some pci ids or something need to be added.  Again, I am not an  
expert at this but did do something similar once for a raid  
controller to backport it to an earlier version of FBSD some time ago  
and did the same sort of thing on Solaris 10 to get the LSI SATA-4  
150 raid card to work with the amr driver.
