you have to:

- modify detect_devices.pm:
  - create a function alike getDAC960(), getATARAID() or getCompaqSmartArray()
    (please try to use /proc or /sys for detection, and not syslog)
  - modify detect_devices::get() (easy :)
- modify devices.pm
  - in function entry(), add some code alike ataraid or cciss
- you may also modify partition_table.pm
  - in function add(), set the maximal number of partitions for each disks
    (it's mostly a device naming limitation, but it exists...)

if you need more help, please ask :)
