I cross flashed my M1015 card to IT mode using the guide here: http://www.servethehome.com/ibm-serveraid-m1015-part-4/
I did "sas2flsh -o -f 2118it.bin" as opposed to "sas2flsh -o -f 2118it.bin -b mptsas2.rom" because I don't need the optiomrom bios on the card to load during boot (that's what this does, correct?)
Anyway, all went perfectly fine and I have yet to hook any drives up to it, but this morning I just noticed freenas has a yellow alert stating:
WARNING: Firmware version 15 does not match driver version 20 for /dev/mps0
Google found me this, https://bugs.pcbsd.org/issues/7144 which led me here: http://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_alert.html
Which says:
This is where I get lost, firstly is this actually what I need to do to resolve this 'error' with my card? (will it not function until I fix it, if I did attach drives to it now?) and if so, could someone point me to the exact files I need and where to put them before running that (or a similiar/modified) command in order to perform the flash?
Thanks in advance, I'm new to NAS / FreeNAS etc in general so I don't know what I'm doing most of the time.

An alert will also be generated when the LSI HBA firmware version does not match the driver version. To resolve this alert, download the IT (integrated target) firmware, not the IR (integrated RAID) firmware, from the LSI website. Then, specify the name of the firmware image and bios as well as the controller to flash:
sas2flash -f firmwareimagename -b biosname -c controllernumber
When finished, reboot the system. The new firmware version should appear in the system messages and the alert will be cleared.
