Does anyone know whether the Areca ARC-1300-4X external SAS HBA is =
currently supported under FreeBSD/amd64 8-STABLE?  I just fired up a =
system that has one of these cards that is running 8.0-RELEASE and the =
HBA is not being detected properly by FreeBSD.  (It is being =
misidentified by the arcmsr driver.)  I'm hoping that once I upgrade =
from 8.0-RELEASE to a contemporary 8-STABLE that it'll be supported.  I =
found a posting on the Web that indicated a driver would be available in =
the first quarter of 2010 =
(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2009-December/006115.=
html).

I'm really hoping I can use this card, though I'm somewhat discouraged =
by the fact that the Areca Web site lists only drivers for Windows, =
Linux, and Mac OS X for this particular model. :-(

Cheers,

Paul.
