It's good to hear the the recent ips(4) driver does support that
controller.
 
I bought a bunch of ultra-cheap surplus older ServeRAID boards a while
ago with the intention of handing them out to anyone who would be
interested in porting the ips(4) driver from FreeBSD to NetBSD, but as
yet I've not got a round tuit for that job.  :-)  I've still got them if
anyone's interested.

I too would like to have the option of using NetBSD on the newer IBM
xSeries servers with their onboard ServeRAID controllers.
