Hi,

  [ Replying to my own message with gathered infos ]

  I got a reply from Scott Long from (apparently) Adaptec:

  There is an open entry on the FreeBSD driver database webpage:

    http://www.posi.net/freebsd/drivers/driver-info.phtml?ID=29

  Also, it seems that Mike Smith sometimes mentioned that he might be
willing to write such a driver. Mike, could you update us ? Thanks.
