What part of the FreeBSD AAC driver is closed, emcumbered, or otherwise

The bits that do management.
Therefore, the bits that let it do what RAID controllers are meant to do.
Can you fully operate an aac(4) card -- 100% of it's abilities, on a
FreeBSD machine, without using a binary only tool downloaded from the
Dell web site?
Are you being obtuse on purpose?
Why don't you admit it. FreeBSD relies on non-free binary code for
Adaptec raid management.
Yes, I admit this. And people thank me all the time for it.
You can't even put it onto a FreeBSD distribution CD.
Why do you keep discussing the free stuff, and distracting everyone
from the non-free bits?
Is it because you used to work for Adaptec? Are you paid to distract
people from the non-free code?
No, but you're paranoid and refusing help.
