I suppose that you are referring to the AIC6360 controllers? They were an unfortunate casualty of the CAM progress and there is some ongoing work towards getting them revived. The older driver seems to have a few problems anyway, so the loss doesn't seem that great to me (and I *really* need that driver). No way _I'm_ switching to Linux because of this relatively minor inconvenience. We'll just use 2.2.8-STABLE on those boxes for now -- *shrug* I've been trying to convince a customer to pay Justin for the work to implement a new driver. Since they have a vested interest in the matter, this might happen. Those controllers are used extensively in the embedded STD-32 world.
