You should try the updated mfi(4) driver that Doug (cc'd) is going to soon
merge into HEAD.  It syncs up with the mfi(4) driver on LSI's website which
supports several cards that the current mfi(4) driver does not.  (I'm not
fully sure if the 9240 is in that group or not.  Doug might know however.)
