Hallo,

I have a quesion about FreeBSD support for this hardware. I'v just bought
this card to use in my new server at work (based on FreeBSD 4.6 RELASE).
But I'm a little worry and upsed, because 4.6 kernel doesn't support this
card (it is invisible for FreeBSD). I'v seen on www.promise.com that this
hardware has drivers for Linux kernel. Is there any chance to run
RAID-5 based on this hardware on FreeBSD? I strongly prefer to use FreeBSD
than linux as operating system on my servers, and I don't want to be froced
to make this on linux server for that reason :(.

Greetings,

The sx6000 driver will hit -current in a week or so, a backport has
already been done, but will have to wait for the -current version
to settle a bit..
