Sorry to say, but this driver is a poor sucker in FreeBSD.  If it
doesn't work for you, there are only two chances:

. get another host adapter, or
. take over maintenance of the aic driver. :)

Very obviously, i would find it cool if you decide for #2, but i'm
afraid you're going for #1 (or a non-FreeBSD solution at all).
