Well, it sorta worked when i tried it. It had some problems with error recovery (i've got a faulty adapter that completely hangs the kernel, as opposed to simply fail probing, and continuing to boot). Currently I'm using this driver as my primary HD controller in a freebsd-current system. I do have occasional system crashes that MAY be related to the driver, however I am not sure. The driver no longer compiled under my -current system as of about a month ago, so i had to disable it on my only machine i've got such an adaptor. Sorry, i'm out of time to maintain this driver myself right now. I have a version that DOES compile under -current. If given permission, I'd be happy to import that driver and do any maintenance that was required, however I have no device driver programming experience. The guy who sent me the driver (whose name escaped me right now) would probably maintain it, but he indicated me that he doesn't have the technical skills e.g. to rewrite it enough to fit into the FreeBSD way of doing things either. Together with the advent of the CAM subsystem, i'm not sure whether it's the right time to import it (but i wouldn't mind if someone did it, *and* maintained the driver later on). If you want me to import it, I'd be happy to. I'd also be happy to test and commit any patches or anything that were sent my way, however it's unlikely that I would have much success in fixing bugs myself.
