DPT has since released a SmartRAID VI card that will supposedly use the same i2o drivers, and they have since been bought by Adaptec. I was supposed to be getting a loaner card (with official drivers from DPT) for evaluation and testing sometime last year, but it never came off. According to , the driver is already a standard feature of FreeBSD 2.2.8, 3.1 and 4.0, but I don't see it myself (unless he's talking about the older SmartRAID IV). There's another page at that indicates an i2o patch is available for RELENG_3, but this would seem to directly contradict the claims made on the other page. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
