Features include 32/64 bit PCI/PCI-X +interface supporting up to 66 MHz PCI 2.3 and up to 133 MHz +PCI-X 2.0 operation. It supports MSI or PCI interrupt pin. + * AIC-9405W is a 4 phy host adapter, 4 port maximum. + * AIC-9410W is an 8 phy host adapter, 8 port maximum. + +The driver supports Revision B0 or later of the controller. + + +Hot plugging +------------ + +Hot plugging is supported, it works and has been tested. + + +Dynamic PCI IDs +--------------- + +To make the driver probe and attach to a new device it +doesn't quite recognize, you can dynamically add to the PCI +ID table of the driver as follows: + +echo "vendor device" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/aic94xx/new_id + +For the complete details see Documentation/pci.txt file. + + +Not a HostRAID driver +--------------------- + +This driver is _not_ a HostRAID driver, it does _not_ +provide RAID capabilities. Although RAID could be built on +top of the devices exported by this driver. + +If you would like this driver to attach to a HostRAID +enabled controller*, set the "attach_HostRAID" module +parameter to "1" either at module load time or through sysfs. + +Kernel command line; append this: + + aic94xx.attach_HostRAID=1 + +Module loading, append this to your modprobe/insmod: + + attach_HostRAID=1 + +Or through sysfs, if the driver has already been loaded: + +echo "1" > /sys/module/aic94xx/parameters/attach_HostRAID + +* This of course could COMPLETELY destroy your HostRAID + array, and is NOT recommended. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
