Mike, if you have the time, could you ellaborate on that "what you are doing" and how it matches up with the drivers in FreeBSD. I think many people would be happy [well, at least me] if you made a quick bulletted list. For example: - If you want good driver support, the 3ware card is a good choice - If you want excellent speed, the Mylex card is a smart choice - etc,etc Or maybe just a couple quick notes, so someone could get this into a doc format somehow. I know you must be a busy man so simple "F$%* Off, do it yourself!" would be understandable. Or does this information already exist in some document? Nick Rogness - Keep on Routing in a Free World...
