So, you seem to have a problem.

Not true. I look after 60 or so FreeBSD machines. They run fine. I did
have a problem with a SCSI RAID on FreeBSD. I called the supplier and
they took a look - the firmware on one of the drives was different to
the others. They updated it and haven't had a problem since.

Review the supported hardware list on the FreeBSD site. If the
hardware is not on there, stop complaining. If it's supposed to be
supported, raise it a PR and hope someone looks at it.
