Or, has Adaptec just dropped FreeBSD support? Adaptec has deprecated aaccli, and it turns out it doesn't work with their recent drivers (which are in 6.3 and 7.0).

The driver in 7.0 and 6.3 should provide the same support as Adaptec's precompiled kernel modules. Please let me know if this isn't the case. There is a problem with arcconf that causes it to hang after producing its expected output. Adaptec is aware of the issue, but has been very slow in responding. -Ed
