No, that is the 16-port card, and yes - I see it listed in aac_pci.c - I
am talking about the 2610SA, which is a six port SATA raid card.

I found a patch for aac_pci.c that adds the identifiers:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2005-July/012828.html

but I just want to make sure that this is a non-hack way to run this card
in 5.4-RELEASE.

If the only addition to aac_pci.c is the identifiers, then can I assume
that the 2610SA will be as solid as any other raid card that uses aac
(like dell PERCs) ?

Any comments at all are appreciated.
