Hello Alan, As previously discussed, I've slighlty arranged the version identification code in the 2.2.18 megaraid driver so that it correcly sees bios and firmware versions on a netraid. Without the patch, I only get smileys and hieroglyphs because the version is interpreted as a string which it is not, on the netraid. On the netraid I have here, the fourth byte in the version is always 0x20, which I used to identify the version coding because on a megaraid, I have a number here instead. I'd like people who also have a netraid to test if this is enough to catch their bios and firmware releases too. Here comes the small patch. Please note that I extended the version length to 8 bytes to conform to the syntax the bios uses : letter.2digits.2digits The old undefined code under #ifdef HP has been removed since it was buggy anyway (char >> 8 always gives 0 ...)
