Unfortunately, that isn´t the case, at least the highpoint support,
which I connected in the driver matter, says you need at least their
open source driver (which contains some pre-compiled object code,
anyway) and build a module from it, even to use just the SATA ports
without the hardware raid functionality.

So it doesn´t work without drivers and changing the kernel (at least
that´s what Highpoint thinks).
