Hello! Sorry, if this is not the right place to ask. I just wonder, if these adapters are currently supported by -stable. 1. Intel 82558 100/10Mbps LAN Onboard and 2. Adaptec AIC 7890 & 3860 80MB/s Ultra2 Wide SCSI Onboard Regarding the Adaptec: I didn't find it in the list of supported controllers, but I am not sure if it is up-to-date. (even though it has a note: Updated September 8, 1998 ) It seems to have no Ultra2 controllers at all.. There is a chapter 3.21. (FAQ75.html) which says: The newer AIC789x series Adaptec chips are supported under the CAM SCSI framework making it's debut in 3.0. Patches against 3.0-CURRENT and 2.2-STABLE are in ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/cam/. A CAM-enhanced boot floppy is available at http://www.freebsd.org/~abial/cam-boot/. I looked in the first directory on ftp2.freebsd.org It says: Adaptec Aic7xxx driver (ahc): This driver supports all of the devices the original FreeBSD driver supports but with the following new features: Supports aic7890/91/95 based controllers. I have now tested the 2940U2W on both a Seagate Cheetah and Quantum Viking II LVD drive and it appears to work well. I did find out, the hard way, that the LVD cable supplied by Adaptec in the 2940U2W kit has very fragile connectors, so be extra careful when seating these cables. I do not know if the termination control is correct for motherboard based 7890/91 controllers is correct, so if you encounter problems in this kind of configuration, please let me know. So, can anybody clarify what is the current status of this driver ? May be the FAQ should reflect that ?
