Re: aacraid, 2.4.26, adaptec 2810sa

[Will Lowe <harpo@thebackrow.net>]

Mark Salyzyn suggested we upgrade the firmware -- that the linux
drivers should work with any version of the firmware -- and we've gone
that route for now.  If the firmware doesn't fix it we'll try the
newer driver.

Since we can't trigger the issue on demand, we're in wait-and-see
mode.

Thanks to both Marks for their input on this.
