Bill Paul and >I looked at the datasheet, and it's going to require a new driver. I suppose that is what I'm asking about, Intel's marketing hype is so unclear on just what it is. If it's not supported it doesn't bother me, as it looks like on most motherboards it won't save a PCI slot anyway, it looks shared just like they do with ISA stuff. Better to use the slot for a real NIC. BTW Mike, your work on the Adaptec RAID stuff looks impressive. I can't believe Adaptec finally caved and released specs on their raid controllers, it's great! Is there any chance that those zero channel raid add-ons like the ARO-1130 from Adaptec or Express 000 from AMI will ever be supported? I don't know how those things are implemented, but if they were supported I could add RAID to about half of my motherboards cheaply. =P Brandon D.
