I find it hard to believe they would break a driver, I think of OpenBSD as

(IPF) then go nuts.  I don't think Theo will let the driver just sit there in a 
broken state.  Or you could go back to 3.1, does 3.2 offer anything specific 
you needed?  

If its a help, I could lend out my Tekram DC390 which would work for any narrow 
peripherals and has a HD50 external connector if that will hold you over until 
the 2940's fixed.

I know this is a linux group, but I'm hoping I can get some good
suggestions/help here.
I recently upgraded my OpenBSD box to 3.2. 
Apparently there's an unwritten rule that says "If there's a working
driver, screw it up".  The Adaptec 2940 driver worked great in 3.1.
Now, anytime I access the raid, or the tape drive, I get a kernel
panic.
This is a known problem.  Everyone but the driver maintainer has
responded about the problem. 
I tried to buy a new scsi card (LSI 53C895 chipset), but alas, it does
not like to recognise the drives that are under 80m/s.  It also does
not
have a wide external connector on the back.  So my tape drive will not
work.  My options seem to be 
a) wait for the bloody maintainter to update the bloody driver so my
bloody system will work.
b) buy a new scsi card.

So, What type of scsi card does anyone know of that has 2 channels, and
a wide external connector, supports up to u2w, and will recognise older
drives.


Any help is appreciated

Sam
