I have both isp(4) and mpt(4) are loaded and the device still doesn't appear in /dev. pciconf shows: > > none2@pci0:8:1:0: class=0x0c0400 card=0x656c1242 chip=0x15601242 rev=0xb2 hdr=0x00 > vendor = 'Jaycor Networks Inc' > device = 'Dual Channel 2 Gb/s Fibre Channel-PCI-X (JNIC-1560)' > class = serial bus > subclass = Fibre Channel > > So I'm guessing that this device is unsupported. So, what I was trying to ascertain from my original question is: does anyone have any FreeBSD experience with a Fibre Channel card that they like under FreeBSD that I can replace this one with? > > Basically I'm asking for a recommendation along the lines of "I have card X and it works beautifully". :) I have X card and it workd beautifully.
