HARDWARE

The driver supports the following RAID controllers:

NOTES

The driver only works on the i386 and amd64 platforms as it requires a binary blob object from the manufacturer which they only supply for these platforms. The driver does not work on i386 with pae(4) enabled.

This driver does not support the RR182x series controller. See the hptmv(4) manual page for details on support.

This driver supersedes the older rr232x driver.
