The latest firmware version I=E2=80=99ve been using (and as far as I =
know, everyone) for the LSI2008, not in Megaraid mode but in IT or IR =
mode is 20.00.07.00.

mps0: <Avago Technologies (LSI) SAS2008> port 0x9000-0x90ff mem =
0xdfff0000-0xdfffffff,0xdff80000-0xdffbffff irq 17 at device 0.0 =
numa-domain 0 on pci4
mps0: Firmware: 20.00.07.00, Driver: 21.02.00.00-fbsd
mps0: IOCCapabilities: =
185c<ScsiTaskFull,DiagTrace,SnapBuf,EEDP,TransRetry,IR>

Confusingly the driver identifies itself as 21.02.00.00. According to =
the FreeNAS people who checked it with Broadcom it won=E2=80=99t be a =
problem. After
contacting Broadcom they even removed their usual =E2=80=9Cdriver/firmware=
 version number mismatch=E2=80=9D for the particular combination of =
firmware version 20,
driver version 21.

Anyway I think there are Broadcom folks lurking around here, they will =
give a more authoritative answer than mine.


Cheers,




Borja.
