I am not a guru at this, but look at the pci ids etc for this in the =20
boot dmesg and then look at the source for this driver and see if =20
some pci ids or something need to be added.  Again, I am not an =20
expert at this but did do something similar once for a raid =20
controller to backport it to an earlier version of FBSD some time ago =20=

and did the same sort of thing on Solaris 10 to get the LSI SATA-4 =20
150 raid card to work with the amr driver.
