Additional configuration information
   Areca one solaris driver can support our fully series SATA RAID adapter and SAS RAID adapter. We want to integrate this driver into the Opensolaris kernel tree.
How can we process it?
Steps that we need to take in order to integrate this driver into
OpenSolaris include:

* Complete an OpenSource Review of the offered source code
* Obtain hardware from the vendor for internal testing
* Determine and execute an appropriate test plan
* Determine supported adapter configurations
* Determine who will provide support and sustaining for the driver
* Write, review and submit PSARC and ON CTeam materials
OpenSource review has been successfully completed, test hw has arrived for RE from
Areca, and driver is being worked over to successfully integrate it into ON.

Remaining tasks:
- packaging for SUNWckr to be updated
- integration testing via nightly builds and cdkit/dvdkit builds
- manpage to be written
- PSARC materials to be filed
- enter project on CTeam project tracking list 
- L10n group to be engaged for message translations
- more stress testing (diskomizer etc)
PSARC fasttrack is 2008/079.
From the manpage (see 6667599)
