that chip should use the MPT2SAS driver, same as the more common SAS2008. a complication for both of those is they can be flashed to be either IT (initiator-terminator mode, a pure SAS HBA), or IR (integrated raid, a rather weak implementation of hardware raid). AFAIK, the MPT2 driver is for IT mode, so if the board identifies itself as IR, I believe it uses a different 'megaraid' driver.
