Jason,
   I don't know of a FBSD solution ( tho there may be one ) but I do know that I
ran into this very same problem with NT-Server.  Microsoft released a 
software fix for this controller.  (This obviously won't help for unix :)  ) I p
ersonally
avoid, and refuse to use mainboards with this controller, and opt for either
UMC, or SMC chips.
