Instead, encoded messages are sent to the driver for relay to apps like aaccli. The driver only knows how to decode a very small subset of these messages, and it doesn't know anything about the kind of messages that you would be getting in this case. So it has nothing to print out. Adaptec does provide a daemon that can recieve the messages and convert them into multi-ligual text for delivery to the syslog. It is under the GPL, and I have not ported it yet. It also requires several modifications to the aac driver that I have not finished testing yet. Scott
