What is the Adaptec model for this IBM card? Most of the
standard Adaptec cards seem to have SW that works.
First, apologies, my fingers slipped - the card is a 6i. I have
been unable to locate the Adapec equivalent and I've even seen
that some cards have been made for them by LSI - the chipset on
the mobo (xSeries 345) is from LSI. But in fact the box this card
came in has both the IBM and Adaptec logos so this one is indeed
from Adaptec.
There is a P/N 13N2190 but I can't match it with Adaptec and think
it's an IBM number.
I assume the card "works", just that you have no management
software for it?
If so, what device does it come up under? What does the dmesg look
like?

Yes, the card works fine - it's only been installed for a short
while. IBM has a bootable CD (forgot if it's Linux or Windows) that
I was able to the original config. from. This will ultimately be a
production server that I aim to have up as close to 24/7 as possible
- and it will be remotely located - so i was searching for something
other than the CD tools in order to check status, etc. with system up.
Here is the dmesg section pertaining to the card:
ips0: <Adaptec ServeRAID Adapter> mem 0xe8000000-0xebffffff,
0xe7fff000-0xe7ffffff irq 18 at device 2.0 on pci8
ips0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
-- snip --
ips0: resetting adapter, this may take up to 5 minutes
ips0: adapter type: ServeRAID 6i (sebring)
ips0: logical drives: 2
