(a) yes, the stock mpt driver does support it
(b) what issues are you referring to?


In my 2008.11rc1b vbox installation, mpt was installed by default:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# pkg search /kernel/drv/mpt
INDEX      ACTION    VALUE                     PACKAGE
path       file      kernel/drv/mpt            pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Likewise with SXCE (from build 1), and


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# pkg contents -r pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED] |grep mpt
kernel/drv/amd64/mpt
kernel/drv/mpt
kernel/drv/mpt.conf


So I suspect your system has a vendor and device ID which isn't
included by default in /etc/driver_aliases. Try firing up a terminal
before you run the installer, and run

# prtconf |grep "value.*pci1000"

that should show you what device aliases your card is showing
up with, and you can then run a command similar to the following:

# update_drv -a -i ' "pci1000,3150" ' mpt

(which is valid for my system, and note the quotes).
