The linux tools have 0 chance of working on amd64....

I have some newer version from one of the freebsd devs of adaptec CLI  
but it doesn't recognize the latest firmware in the 2230 card.

I've been trying to work with that developer to sponsor some work to  
make the tools available and working on newer hardware and FreeBSD  
versions, but there has been some hold up getting necessary bits out  
of Adaptec.
