The aic7xxx driver is one of the better supported FreeBSD drivers. It's had some bugs in prior releases to 2.1.5R, but these were fixed for 2.1.5R and has proven to be very stable for me. In 2.1.5R, the aic7xxx devices are auto-probed; you just need to add pci and/or eisa controller lines in your kernel configuration and it'll find all aic7xxx devices. For the 3940 you just need a pci controller and it'll pick it up as two aic7xxx controllers since the 3940 has two 787X controllers on it. Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org
