Latest versions of aic7xxx are at:

	http://people.redhat.com/dledford/

You'll have to patch the driver and compile as a module or compile into
kernel.

I don't know about support for 29160Ns, having my own difficulties
getting 2940U2Ws to work properly.

You might also try the linux-scsi list as it seems very few people are
on this one.

Best of luck.
