Yes it is that hard!

First... I can read the man pages and i DO read it (before postings).

If you think this is easy... Maybe you can tell why the man page have two 
"MEGARAID 320" statements. One with "MEGARAID 320" and one "MEGARAID 320-2E"?
Why would I know that "MEGARAID 320-1" is a "MEGARAID 320" when  "MEGARAID 
320-2E" is not? Please tell me. I bet other ordinary users are wondering as 
well...


I was 99% sure it was supported after reading the man page. But after Mr Alex 
Lee replied and told me he used these MEGARAID 320-1 in both 3.7 and 3.8 I am 
now 100% sure (Thank you Alex Lee).

The compat list is not always that clear. How many people know that the LSI 
Logic 150-4 and 150-6 MegaRAID cards are actually known as the compatible 
card "LSI/Symbios 523 SATA"?. I did not until Marc Peereboom told me. I read 
the bios update readme for the 150-4 that on a row mentioned "LSI 523". So I 
thought it worked before Marco told me. But I was only 99% sure... 

Why don't put in 320-1, 150-4, 150-6 cards and the others that are known to 
work on the man page to make it easier for people...
