I think DPT is you're best bet for hardware RAID for both Linux and FreeBSD.
I believe there is support for some DPT RAID controllers in Linux.  The
author (Michael Neuffer) of the Linux DPT drivers, supposedly has rewritten
the driver for the new line of DPT RAID controllers for FreeBSD.  I think
he's know trying to port this newly rewritten DPT driver back to Linux.

I believe Simon Shapiro (Shimon@i-Connect.Net) was working with
Michael Neuffer on the FreeBSD DPT driver.  You might want to contact
him or Michael privately to see what state the driver is in.
