That's correct, neither SCU SAS nor SCU SATA are supported.  PCH/ICH
SATA attach as AHCI and work just fine, as do board-level integrations
like LSI SAS.

On the network side, low-end Patsburg boards from Supermicro and Intel
come with the 82579LM/82574L combo for dual-1G NICs, and both are
supported by e1000g(7).  Higher-spec boards typically include a dual
I350, which is supported by igb(7).
