Since someone suggested flashing the adapter via the EFI shell: I tried
this. The LSI flash utility tells me there is no controller installed.
Also I don't see it via lspci on FreeBSD 10. So it is not just the
controller BIOS not showing up. The device is invisible on the PCI bus.

Thanks anyway for the input!

Regards
Georg
