Chris Csanady just pointed out that this controller has a new PCI ID.
Unfortunately, we're a couple of days too late to get this into 4.3.
(Why does nobody at Dell tell me these things? 8( )
I'm about to add it to the driver; you'll have to use a post-4.3 snapshot

kernel vis. the 4.2 kit I built for the 'aac' driver and submit it, I'd
be very happy to put it up for 4.3 people to use.

... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his
rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want
to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force
people to take different points of view. [Dr. Fritz Todt]
