Hmm, you would think that if the bios lets you setup a raid, then it
must have raid mode enabled then. Or does it need a different driver to
work then?

Im not sre, never flashed the bios for passthru mode, because the
driver lets you select the mode thru some modparm. But maybe the
different bios only changes the default mode.
Anyway, this card is hardware raid for sure.
