Does anyone know whether the Areca ARC-1300-4X external SAS HBA is currently supported under FreeBSD/amd64 8-STABLE? I just fired up a system that has one of these cards that is running 8.0-RELEASE and the HBA is not being detected properly by FreeBSD. (It is being misidentified by the arcmsr driver.) I'm hoping that once I upgrade from 8.0-RELEASE to a contemporary 8-STABLE that it'll be supported. I found a posting on the Web that indicated a driver would be available in the first quarter of 2010 (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2009-December/006115.html).
I'm really hoping I can use this card, though I'm somewhat discouraged by the fact that the Areca Web site lists only drivers for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X for this particular model. :-( Cheers, Paul. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
