Usually Highpoint labels "open source" a code source wrapper around a
proprietary piece of driver. HighPoint are really horrible from a free
software POV and really stink under linux; and as they aren't true
hardware RAID but use a substantial part of the driver to do their job
there isn't much hope that it will ever get any better. My advice :
stay away from these, use any of 3Ware, Areca or Adaptec SAS/SATA
controllers which all work fine and without hassle under Linux.
