Given that the source on the Adaptec website is quite old, I wouldn't be very confident about it. Before digging into how to build it, you might want to try instead the aic7xxx_old driver that comes with the standard kernel. I find that one works better with my 2940 card (the aic7xxx driver doesn't seem to like my scanner). Worth a try anyway. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
