Please let me know if this isn't the case. Yes. the driver in 7.0 and 6.3 works fine. But if you want to use all SET* and GET* features or the rescan option with arcconf then you have to use Adaptecs precompiled kernel modules. Only a few commands are working with arcconf and the freebsd default driver. Regards, Thomas
