I wouldn't expect any help from Compaq... although they do have several FreeBSD Proliants setup for beta testing. I have a SmartArray 2DH card running using the ida.c driver that comes with 3.3. Mark Dawson the original writer of the driver helped me out with getting it setup. Does the 3200 use the same driver?
