Adaptec 2940S76 not recognized

[Karl Heller]

Originally this card was showing up as :

Jun 30 16:22:18 rns /kernel: pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x9004, 
dev=0x0178) at 9.0 irq 10

However, I'm thinking this was because the bios wasn't enable on the 
card.  After some magic and control-a work the card showed the adaptec 
bios logo screen (which it hadn't in the past).  I thought nothing of 
this since I have a few others that don't either.

However, it is now reported as
ahc0: <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter> port 0xc800-0xc8ff mem 
0xdc00b000-0xdc00bfff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0
ahc0 at pci0:9:0:  class=0x010000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x81789004 rev=0x00 
hdr=0x00


This isn't an Ultra SCSI card, even though the board says 2940/2940U 
the chip is a 7870P.

1.  How compatible is the 7880 with the 7870?
2. Is there anyway to probe further and/or hack this to work using the 
correct chip initialization?

Thanks!
