Hello everybody, I bought a HighPoint Technologies RocketRAID 2680 controller for testing with a GNU/Linux kernel on GNU/Debian and Ubuntu. It seems there is no kernel module for the 2600 series or the 2700 series. The HighPoint website [1][2] keeps claiming there are open soure drivers available. I know open source is not the same as free software, but it is very very misleading, because it does not work. Will the below devices ever be supported in the upstream kernel code? RocketRAID 2700 Family Series (Marvell 9485 SAS/SATA 6Gb/s) RocketRAID 2600 Family Series (Marvell 6485/6445 SAS/SATA 3Gb/s) See the attached document for more device information.
