The newer genreation use 'Storage Manager Browser Edition' for the GUI and 'aaccli' for the CLI. I ported the aaccli program to FreeBSD a few years ago, but it has fallen out of date and I don't recommend using it with the 2120/2200 cards. You can, however, extract the Linux version of 'aaccli' from the CD that comes with the card and run it under FreeBSD. You'll need the normal linux compatibility tools, and you'll need to either compile your kernel with AAC_COMPAT_LINUX or load the 'aac_linux.ko' kernel module. Scott
