Well, I see the LSI Logic FC929X listed on the hardware support page. That
appears to be the chip driving their current generation of fiberchannel
HBAs.

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with fiberchannel cards so I
can't say if these are any good. I have used their SAS cards though and
like them better than the Adaptec cards they replaced. Heck, I don't even
know that these will do raid. I know the SAS cards we got did, but that
doesn't say much.
The competative matrix in this may give you an idea of what other vendors
have too.
