Hi Doug, Thanks for the update. As Kashyap noted, the issue with bunches o= f messages has been fixed in our pre-GCA version. The reason that we have = not added the 9.1 driver version to our zip is that it needs to go through = our testing procedure first. It is scheduled to be released before the end= of the year. 9.2 will need to go through the same process and I don't kno= w when that's going to be finalized yet. As far as getting mpslsi3 upstream, I don't know exactly what's going to ha= ppen at this point. We (LSI) are trying to convince the FreeBSD community = that the Gen2 and Gen3 drivers need to be separated and we're getting a lit= tle understandable resistance. LSI separated these drivers quite a while a= nd it's unlikely that we'll merge Gen2 and Gen3 functionality back into one= driver. So, we need come up with some solution.
