Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1998 10:21:12 -0500 From: Brian McGovern Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I just bought a couple of the Adaptec 2940U2W controllers. After running several versions of FreeBSD, I found that they weren't recognized with 2.2.6, 2.2.7, but were with 3.0. After some poking the drivers look pretty much the same. What I'm wondering is if I can get these cards working by popping in the PCI device IDs for the U2Ws in to aic7870.c (in 2.2.6 or 2.2.7), and be up and running; or whether there were more significant changes to support these cards? In short, I don't want to just "try it", as it involves building a custom release to get the boot floppy support by default.... So, if its a no-go, I'd just like to install 3.0 on my new server, rather than playing with 2.2.X for the next couple of days, just to have it fail. -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
