I'm trying to see if there's any way I can get my Raid controller, which is a AMCC (3Ware) 9650-4, to work under OpenBSD. The man page for the twe driver says it works for several different 3Ware controllers, but it seems to omit the 9000 controllers. The FreeBSD driver, named twa.c, well, I can't see that it's been brought into OpenBSD anywhere. If it's in as part of another driver, then my only chance to find it would be to ask here, right? I've been using that twa driver under FreeBSD for a couple years now, it (at least) works really well, so I sure hope there's some option I have (beyond launching off on a project to move that driver, because I already have myself a project I'm working on under OpenBSD, and it would just take me too darn long to wait, if I had to put it onto my own stack).
I saw that the current OpenBSD driver supports the "Escalade" model, I've never heard that term before, if it's supposed to stand in for some 3Ware model, well, the AMCC 3Ware site seems to be unaware of it. I suppose it might be some name that they're trying to forget, for some odd marketing reason. It hasn't got anything to do with the 9650, has it? Boy, I sure hope I don't have to wait until I get enough time to port that FreeBSD driver myself, it's going to take me a good long while.
