Sorry if I didn't make that clear in the original post; I did note the
additional flag you mention, and here's what I get:
$ lspci | grep -i raid
03:00.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec AAC-RAID (rev 09)
04:00.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec AAC-RAID (rev 09)
$ lspci -s 03:00 -n
03:00.0 0104: 9005:0285 (rev 09)
$ lspci -s 04:00 -n
04:00.0 0104: 9005:0285 (rev 09)

Which is pretty much what I thought... but again, if I go to Adaptec's
site, and try to search on AAC, it returns zip.
