I'll be happy to add some information to the Notes column
should you provide any that it doesn't contain already.
If you read this page carefully, you'll see I already mentioned
the on-board controller and the SATA-RAID chipset. Note that
there are two on-board ethernet controllers (sk(4) and nve(4)),
and the former is well supported on 5.4.
