Could I configure it somehow with that? Yes, I have just emailed you (off-list) a PPC64 tw_cli statically linked binary. If you have Linux on your PPC64, you can put your card in there, load the 3w-9xxx driver, then run tw_cli to configure a raid unit, then put it back in your MIPS box. > > Alternatively, I can easily give you ssh access to my MIPS system if > you'd be willing to compile tw_cli for MIPS.
