Hi, I may sound ignorant, but what is wrong with the FreeBSD-native aaccli utility that can be downloaded from Adaptec (5400s_fbsd_cli_v10.zip)? I have been using this for some time now with success.
May I suggest to make a port out of this as well? Helge Bruce M Simpson: >Hi, > >I'm a FreeBSD src committer who deals with Dell hardware a lot. I've just >committed a port of afaapps to FreeBSD.
