Interesting, the opposite of our problems. It works perfectly for us
on 4.x systems, but not in 5.4 and 6.x.

While not as expensive as switching motherboards, still a pain. We've
been very happy with our ICP cards. But your suggestion does have
merit, especially as recent PCI-X and PCI-E ICP cards have no FreeBSD
driver in sight.
My understanding is that the ICP division is switching over to the
architcture supported by the 'aac' driver. Adaptec provided updates
to this driver last year that include a number of ICP id numbers. If
you have access to one of these cards that you mention, would you mind
trying the aac driver and reported on whether or not it worked?
