This controller may be crappy, however it is prevalent amongst many 
nforce2 chipsets.  In particular the asus A7N8X, which is ubiquitous.  
In addition, the controller does work and has so far caused no problems 
under windows, so I am fairly pleased with it. 

So, I would hope that there is some talented deveoper out there that 
does not take your narrow minded view and take mercy on all those people 
that would love to use freebsd with raid0 on their desktop machines.
