I just fired up a = system that has one of these cards that is running 8.0-RELEASE and the = HBA is not being detected properly by FreeBSD. (It is being = misidentified by the arcmsr driver.) I'm hoping that once I upgrade = from 8.0-RELEASE to a contemporary 8-STABLE that it'll be supported. I = found a posting on the Web that indicated a driver would be available in = the first quarter of 2010 = (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2009-December/006115.= html). I'm really hoping I can use this card, though I'm somewhat discouraged = by the fact that the Areca Web site lists only drivers for Windows, = Linux, and Mac OS X for this particular model. :-( Cheers, Paul.
