Unfortunatly that's not supported. Adaptec won't give NetBSD the
documentation necessary to make a driver. For older products, NetBSD and
FreeBSD used the same driver, so Adaptec learned if they sent docs to a
certain FreeBSD developer, then FreeBSD and NetBSD got a driver. Well, the
driver that developer wrote for this card depends on a scsi driver
interface (specifically FreeBSD's CAM mid-layer) which NetBSD does not
have, thus his driver won't work on NetBSD. There are a number of reasons
why NetBSD won't just copy this CAM mid-layer.

Unfortunatly there's a bit of corporate memory at Adaptec, and so some of
them they still remember the FreeBSD developer as being the NetBSD
contact. :-(

Take care
