Yes.  See the excerpt from the dmesg below.  It's even from
an old FreeBSD 4.x, but of course 6.x supports it as well.

Don't be confused by the names Compaq vs. HP.  As I wrote
in my previous mail, Compaq was taken over by HP a few years
ago, and all of the products were renamed, but they are
technically the same.

If you don't believe me, look up the PCI ID of the CISS 5i.
It's 0x40800e11 for both "Compaq" and "HP".  You "HP" one
will probably be probed as being "Compaq", too, because
the driver has no way to differentiate them.

Best regards
   Oliver
