Hello,

This patch allows Adaptec's management software (raidutils) to work with 
the I2O subsystem with DPT RAID hardware.  The previous release of 
raidutils from Adaptec works only with the obsolete dpt_i2o driver in 
the 2.4.x kernel.  Adaptec has since released raidutils under the BSD 
license, and development of raidutils will proceed at the new I2O 
development homepage:

http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/

To achive this, there need to be an function in i2o_config, which passes 
the commands to the controller. At the moment the function is only 
copied over from dpt_i2o, but it works fine.  Future plans for raidutils 
is to make necessary changes to the kernel or utils to make it fully 
functional on x86-64.  Further details, patches, raidutils sources, and 
I2O development news will be maintained at the I2O homepage.

If you have any suggestions, please feel free to contact me.

Best regards,


Markus Lidel
