A simple google for "sil3112 freebsd" will return you plenty of 
responses which will provide an answer to your question - which is, no 
they are not any good.   I'll leave you with google to fill in the details.

Based on nothing more than reading mailing lists, highpoint controllers 
have a much better reputation.  No doubt google could be your friend on 
that issue as well.

Sorry for the bad news,
