Firmware for DELL SAS 6GB/S SATA 8-PORT LSISAS2008-IT

[Gibby]

So I got 2 cards from View: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121431653923
and I am trying to figure out:
a)Which LSI card does this map to? I am thinking 9211-8i or 9210-3i
b)Where do I download the stinking phase 16 firmware for this thing at?

I have been searching the forums, google and dell for the better part of the day. Thanks

Here is output I see on freenas:

Code:

LSI 9211/IBM M1015

More important than the model number is the controller it uses - the LSI SAS 2008, which is just what you need.

LSI should have an archive of old firmware versions in their download section, but you have to dig a bit to find it.

So any SAS2008 firmware will work?

Well, LSI's SAS 2008 firmware will work. All others are probably the same, but I haven't checked.

The P16 firmware from LSI for the 9210-8i doesn't work...
