Okay, I just dealt with a Dell 1750 and its PERC drivers at work.

The newer versions of the card have new branding IDs in them, and may 
not be picked up by the existing drivers.  I think an 'lspci -n' will 
tell us what vender/product ID is there, and let's compare Nikhil's and 
what the driver sees.  Would that work as a plan?  really, it's the same 
driver, just that we may need to get this driver to see THIS megaraid 
like it sees the old ones.  That was the case for work (unix though; 
not linux).
