I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings...but is that a "supported" card? if
not you are probably on your own. whether it will work is another issue.If
it is a rebadged emulex you can probably get a driver.qlogic/jni/etc you may
be travelling unchartered waters, as driver support for those cards is hit
or miss. do you know who the original manufacturer is? does net app support
it for AIX hosts? do they offer a driver? I suppose the good thing is that
AIX recognized the card and is telling you (possibly) the requisite drivers.

Who made the card? Emulex has drivers online for 4.3.3 and below ... IBM's
the source for 5.1 and above. IBM didn't make any official drivers/cards
themselves (supervise the reselling/remaking, I mean) until AIX 5L.
