Looks fine to me: i350 (1Gb ethernet) works fine under igb. (I'm personally using those under OmniOS on Xeon-D boxes) X540 10Gb ethernet also is supported by ixgbe, of course. The LSI card operates on the LSI3008 SAS-3 chip, which is supported by mpt_sas. However you have SATA SSDs. Why not just use the motherboards's SATA3 controller? You've got 10 ports... and mixing SATA and SAS drives and controllers is asking for a headache later on. /dale
