54 driver provides support for the Adaptec AAC family of SCSI Ultra2, Ultra160,
55 and Ultra320, SATA and SAS RAID controllers.
57 Access to RAID containers is available via the
62 device enables the SCSI pass-through interface and allows devices connected
63 to the card such as CD-ROMs to be available via the CAM
66 Note that not all cards allow this interface to be enabled.
70 device nodes provide access to the management interface of the controller.
71 One node exists per installed card.
76 exist for compatibility with the Dell and HP versions of management tools,
78 If the kernel is compiled with the
84 modules are loaded, the
87 interface for the management device will be enabled and will allow
88 Linux-based management applications to control the card.

280 will enable debug messages.
282 The adapter can send status and alert messages asynchronously
284 These messages are printed on the system console,
285 and are also queued for retrieval by a management application.

300 This driver is not compatible with Dell controllers that have version 1.x
302 The firmware version is the same as the kernel version printed in the BIOS
303 POST and driver attach messages.
305 The controller is not actually paused on suspend/resume.
