Since you didn't provide a dmesg (boo) I can only guess, but typically Dell 2650s are equipped with aac(4) ROMB. aac(4) is not a supported driver anymore as can be seen in the FAQ here (scroll down to 12.7.7); http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq12.html Though it should be noted that as of revision 1.25 aac has improved somewhat and is a bit less error prone as experienced by some of us using this driver. But still, using aac with OpenBSD should not be recommended to those faint of heart. Regards Johan M:son
