freebsd stable - Nov 2005 - Suitable HBA for STABLE

Hi,

I have just been given a HP MSA1500 SAN, and the card that our IT 
department ordered is an Emulex 9802, as far as i can tell, there is no 
freebsd driver for this card, is this correct? If it is correct, what card 
is the best supported? It looks like isp supports the qlogic cards through 
2300x, but is there any one card that i should look at?

I am currently running 5.4-stable on my boxes (HP/Compaq DL380s), but 
could move them to 6 ahead of schedule if needed.

Thanks for any advice.

Brad

Correct.  Emulex used to be pretty secretive about the API specs, this
might have changed in the meantime (I don't know).  So there is no Emulex
FC HBA driver for FreeBSD.  Your best bet is a card driven by isp(4),
mjacob@FreeBSD.org as the driver writer might be in the best position to
comment on which Qlogic based card he likes best (or maybe he has no
preference ;)
