OpenBSD With the recent push from OpenBSD to open firmwares to redistribution as well as obtaining new documentation for several wireless chipsets it would seem OpenBSD is pushing for other areas to open up as well.

Scott, you seems to miss the point there: OpenBSD developpers surelly had seen your name on FreeBSD driver, but why should have they known that you're the man with the documentation and the man who signed NDA with Adaptec ?

Why do you take everything as a personal offence (for them to not ask you for help, to ignore your knowledge upon Adaptec hardware, to say that the driver is broken etc.) ? Are you universaly famous ?

So what do you feel strange in they're demarche ? they adress to Adaptec for more documentation. Not to an obscur FreeBSD developper that suddently and lately emerges.

And ... Adaptec, it's not the moon, it's just documentation, why the hell are you denying this ? and only documentation about the protocol that permit to manage the RAID controler state ...
