The aic driver is basically `orphaned'. Nobody has done any work on it for a long time, and none of the active developers seems to suff^H^H^H^Hhave an AIC-6260 based SCSI adapter. It looks as if this driver has been obtained from NetBSD once, so you might perhaps try to get a newer version from NetBSD, and see whether you can get it going.
