Thanks for the response. However my card is not recognized thats why I asked.
The card is 5 weeks old. It was just released.
Anyone know how to determine what version of AACRAID is installed and if
there are any rpath docs on how to get the version upgraded to a newer version
(the one below) that will support my card?
I guess eventually rpath will include the newer drivers correct?
thanks

I have one 21610 card and its support has been included in openfiler
(thru aacraid). There is no additional driver installation required. I
guess most probably, you don't need to install additional drivers.
To make use of its console tools (For GUI tools, I wasn't able to
install X on my openfiler box). You may extract one of the RPM package
(rpm2cpio foo.rpm | cpio -iumd) and run the MAKEDEV under /dev to make
node for aacli tool to recognize your card.
