Network card & Raid problems with IBM x346 server

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right list.

I've installed FreeBSD 5 on many IBM x345 servers with no problems.

They appear to have phased out that model, it's now an IBM x346 and there
are 2 problems ;

1) The network card is not supported. During the bootup it lists "ethernet
card" as one of the devices and next to it says "no driver"

2) I can't get the integrated RAID Controller on the server working. I have
2 x 36gb drives and have set them up using RAID1 on the onboard adaptec scsi
controller but FreeBSD still picks up 2 x 36gb separate drives instead of a
single 36gb partition.

Any ideas on anything I could do? I can buy a network card to solve #1 and
not use the onboard card, #2 has me a bit puzzled though.

Cheers

Gav
