Hi all,

I've been running those cards on Linux.

The 2008-Chip is an HBA-Chip. Linux uses the mpt2sas Driver (the old=20
HBAs are using mptsas).


The 2108 is the Raid-Chip using the megaraid_sas or 3w-sas driver=20
(depending on the firmware installed- LSI 9261-8i and 3ware 9750-8i seem=20
to have identical Hardware.

Regards,
  Michael!
