freebsd stable - Jun 2006 - Suggestions for Adaptec SAS AIC9410

I'm trying to get a Supermicro 6024H-32R setup with 6.1, but I'm 
discovering that the Adaptec SAS AIC9410 controller isn't yet supported. 

I see one brief thread about it on this mailing list back in March, but no 
further mention or conclusive details. There was talk of MFCing the mpt 
driver...is anybody using this in production?  

I'd prefer to use FreeBSD, but I'm guessing I'm going to need to do
SuSE
for this box, which Adaptec provides drivers for.

Thanks,
Andy

The mpt driver was just MFC'd, but that won't help the adaptec issue.

There is a remote chance that somebody I'm doing work for will want a
FreeBSD driver for the adaptec card, but that won't be for a couple of
months.

It's a huge PITA- the SuperMicro boards are nice , but they don't get
along with LSI-Logic. So, when I get SuperMicro, I pretty much get the
ones with native SATA.

Can you get a pciconf -lv off this system? It might just be a case of 
needing to add an ID to an existing driver (aac?).
