Hello,

The ports-standard aaccli works fine in FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE (I am using a
2610sa).

However the same ports-standard aaccli does not work in 6.1-RELEASE (I am
using 2820SA cards).  Apparently this aaccli is getting old, and we just
crossed the threshold of functionality for it.

Word on the street is that if I load the linux kernel modules and run the
linux version of the tool (afacli, right ?) that it will work, as it is
more up to date.

The problem is, I cannot find this linux tool.  Everything I download from
adaptec is just a total disaster - tarballs full fof floppy images full fo
god knows what.

Can someone describe exactly which package I should be downloading from
adaptec, and where in that package the linux binary is ?  Previous threads
on this topic have ended with "never mind, someone nice emailed it to me
offlist" which is great, but for the sake of the archives, can someone
respond and say which of the following:

AACRAID RPM files b2420 for multiple Linux versions
Linux Installation Driver Disk and Driver CD Images b2420
AACRAID driver patch files b2420 for multiple Linux Kernel versions
Adaptec Storage Manager Version 4.10.4813 for Linux

Thanks.
