Just got hold of a new IBM xSeries 346 system that I was looking to
install NetBSD amd64 on, and ran into the issue of the on-board RAID
controller, what looks like an Adaptec AIC-7902B, not being recognized
by -current. It doesn't look like NetBSD knows about this card based
from the source files, and was wondering a few questions:
=20
1) Is anyone working on getting support for this chipset?
=20
2) Could anyone suggest on how to try getting support?
=20
3) Any recommendations for a PCI-card replacement that will do U320 that
is supported by NetBSD?
=20
Thanks in advance!
