some cases.

Yeah, can't see support for it yet, though looks like many other PERC
4 controllers are. Hrm.

FreeBSD detects it as:

amr0: <LSILogic MegaRAID 1.51> mem
0xdfdc0000-0xdfdfffff,0xd80f0000-0xd80fffff irq 46 at device 14.0 on
pci2
amr0: <LSILogic PERC 4e/Di> Firmware 521S, BIOS H430, 256MB RAM

So maybe it'll be supported in the MegaRAID driver (also called amr)? Hrm.

want to look that up as well.

The network interfaces are Intel Pro/1000 cards, so should be fine there.
