James, thanks for your comments.
I was just trying to give the MPT driver some extra publicity, because maybe 
it's not obvious to everyone that this driver supports the Dell card.

Regarding the lack of source-code for the MPT driver, it's not causing me a
particular problem at this instant. I was just trying to make the point, that
for most of OpenSolaris, the code is open source, which I think is generally
accepted as being beneficial, but in the case of this driver and some other,
like the marvell88sx driver, the source code is not available.
Some drivers are moving to open source, like the Emulex FC HBA driver:

Is the MPT driver written by Sun?
Does the code belong to someone else?
Regards
Nigel Smith
