I have an Intel motherboard with onboard SATA raid. It uses the Adaptec ICH5

However, on install, it sees the individual disks (ad4 & ad6) instead of the

How do I install to the mirror instead of an individual disk?

It's a common mistake to do both gif and ipsec.
I realize many of the handbooks you find say to do it. They're wrong.
They've been contacted and most won't change them, which just misleads
more people.
Use ipsec in tunnel mode instead of transport and ditch gif.

This sounds like an auto-sense problem.
If you're hooked up to a hub, 10 half is the best you'll get. If it's a
switch, it may be setting itself full-duplex.
If its not a managed switch (you can't tell it what the ports should set
themselves to), you can try changing the settings on the card (man
