If we're talking about "PERC5/i", then the driver is "mfi(4)", at least
on FreeBSD/amd64.  We probably have it in -current.  I know that PERC5
ships integrated in the 1950/2950 -- I didn't know they had a workgroup
server version.

I know because is leading me to new ways of suffering.  Unlike the 8th
gen PowerEdge which had a relatively well supported and documented PERC4
and open-source "megarc(8)" management CLI, the PERC5 is buggy as hell
and the megacli(8) linux-only binaries require Linux Emulation on
production servers to monitor. 

Newer firmware may fix the problems, we're checking now.  PERC5 doesn't
get my endorsement yet for production environments.  Dell/AMI/LSI will
eventually come around.
