Description Mathieu Simon 2012-11-24 18:30:00 UTC 
I'm using IBM ServeRAID M1115 inside an IBM server using 8.3 + the update mfi driver inside 8-STABLE which recognizes the card as expected. 9.1-RC3 also recognizes the card as well.

I have another box with a M1015 which is virtually identical to M1115, with the difference that RAID 5 level is locked via a hardware, not a software token (M1115). Booting a box with 9.1-RC3 confirms this.

Since both adapters are based on the MegaRAID 9240 board whose sole difference to IBM branded cards is the firmware having RAID5 unlocked. We may safely add this to the manpage too?

Oh - and thanks to the people who put together this driver as it much expands the support for more recent MegaRAID based/derived cards with FreeBSD!

Fix: Here is a patch against CURRENT:
How-To-Repeat: Have a Server with either IBM ServeRAID M1115 or  M1015.

G'day

I already added the Intel SRCSAS18E to the patch since I expected it to
work too. Now I have the confirmation that this Intel-branded MR 8480E
is also recognized and working with 9.1-RC3.

SRCSAS144E is the low-profile "brother" of SRCSSAS18E I would guess that
this card would also be recognized but I don't have that equipment at
hand to verify.

Both cards have identical features (except some differnce in form factor
and port layout). They are both based on LSI 1068 + Intel IOP333.

Hi all

Softly bumping this PR, any objections about updating the manpage?

I happily keep running with this new drivers under pfSense 2.1 (BETA)
who has
backported the driver to RELENG 8.3 via 8-STABLE. It would be great if
the manpage
would be in sync with real world compatibility :-)

Best regards
Mathieu
