I don't have the debian sarge source handy, but the kernel.org 2.6.8 kernel's drivers/scsi/megaraid.[ch] driver indeed does not have the PCI IDs for these controllers present. Looks like I misremembered when I put that text on linux.dell.com, I've corrected it. kernel.org 2.6.9 drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_mbox.c does have the PCI IDs for this adapter.
