Would it make sense to open a ticket within FreeBSD bugs for that, or does one just wait until someone at Broadcom decides to work on this? > The mpr(4) driver supports all of their 12Gb SAS (non-RAID) chips as far > as I know. > > I think the last two digits of their SAS chip and board model names are > the number of SAS lanes. Maybe the chips are always identified unter the 3816 label I found in the source, no matter how many lanes they really have (and 16 appears to be the maximum number). Makes perfect sense, so my next step here is to find some money to buy hardware. cu Gerrit
