Chipsets don't come with the operating system. Support for various pieces of hardware does come with the OS. There will never be support for the aic-7895 in the 2.2-stable tree. > I think it is in current, but I really don't want to goto current on my > primary server. CAM was integrated into current several weeks ago, so yes, there is support for the 7895 in -current. > I read back in the list archive and found the AIC-7895 is supported in CAM > and I have found this to be true.

(I will find the answer to this one in a few hours through > experimentation) You can't cvsup "2.2CAM-19980716-SNAP". You can cvsup -current, -stable, or the CVS tree, but you can't cvsup something that was never checked into cvs. If you cvsup the 2.2-stable tree and rebuild, you will lose support for your 7895. As far as a new 2.2-stable CAM snapshot, that won't happen until after 3.0 comes out.
