Wait a second.  How do you draw THAT conclusion?  FreeBSD had working
AHA2942 support before *Linux* did and supports as wide a variety of
SCSI controllers as I would ever want to see.  To be sure, some of the
stranger "Future Domain" cards and such aren't supported but we certainly
go out of our way to support any of the reasonably mainstream controllers!
