Here's my setup:

ABIT IT5H 2.0
P5 166MMX
64Mb Ram
Buslogic BT-958 (!)
2x 9.1 GB Fast Wide IBM Drives


Everything seems to work fine, but upon bootup I notice:

Feb 13 05:01:32 imap /kernel: bt0: Bt958 / 0-(32bit) bus
Feb 13 05:01:32 imap /kernel: bt0: reading board settings, busmastering, 
int=14
Feb 13 05:01:32 imap /kernel: bt0: version 5.06I, async only, parity, 32 
mbxs, 32 ccbs
Feb 13 05:01:32 imap /kernel: bt0: targ 0 async
Feb 13 05:01:32 imap /kernel: bt0: targ 1 async

(Guess I should fix the date :) )


Hmmm, ASYNC only (5 Mbps?!?) whats the deal? Checked bios setup on 
BT-958, everything is cool there,etc,etc,etc...

Then I got a bit curious so I dug around the FBSD web pages and 
found some stuff.... 


Ahhhh, it *IS* a problem.. Seems that the driver is a BIT behind and the 
card responds with different info and it defaults to SLOW SLOW mode...

So, the question is:

WHEN AND WHO is going to fix this little(!!??) problem??

I'd really hate to have to dump the Buslogic for an Adaptec, but if I 
must, I must...



Let me know here or private!
