Why limit to network? It might (is!) useful to have common RAID controllers
supported by FAI as well - 3ware (7000/8000 series, and 9000 series), and
Areca (arcmsr, has to be included by hand from ftp://ftp.areca.com.tw/RaidCards/AP_Drivers/Linux/DRIVER/SourceCode/)
come to mind... it might also make sense to activate IPMI support.

Feel free to do so :)
