Well, I ran into this stumbling block a couple of weeks ago myself, and instead opted to use software RAID.

 

The things is, your RAID controller isn't purely a hardware RAID controller, it's actually a hybrid of the hardware, as well as software drivers.

 

I googled for dmraid and I think I found something that might be useful for you - http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1664
