45 To compile this driver into the kernel,
46 place the following lines in your
47 kernel configuration file:
48 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
53 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
54 module at boot time, place the following line in
56 .Bd -literal -offset indent
62 driver provides support

110 .Tn Fibre Channel PCI-Express)
115 controller chips supported by the
117 driver can be found onboard on many systems including:
121 Dell PowerEdge 1750 thru 2850
123 IBM eServer xSeries 335
126 These systems also contain Integrated Raid Mirroring and Integrated
127 Raid Mirroring Enhanced which this driver also supports.
131 controller chips are also present on many new AMD/Opteron based systems,
133 Note that this controller can drive both SAS and SATA
134 drives or a mix of them at the same time. The Integrated Raid Mirroring
135 available for these controllers is poorly supported at best.
139 controller chipset are supported by a broad variety of speeds and systems.
142 Fibre Channel HBA is in fact the
146 This driver also supports target mode for Fibre Channel cards.
147 This support may be enabled by setting the desired role of the core via
148 the LSI Logic firmware utility that establishes what roles the card
149 can take on - no separate compilation is required.
