Unlikely, there is plan to EOL cadp, adp, cadp160 and possibly even
adpu320 in OpenSolaris, I believe.

cadp and adp are not 64-bit-ready and there is nobody with time to make
them 64-bit-ready (Adaptec's job I believe).

But drivers are on Adaptec website, where they can be downloaded and
they will stay there I think. Ask Adaptec for support.
