Back in November, Justin announced an alpha version of an Adaptec- sponsored (if that's the correct term) driver for the AIC7XXX family. Since that's the *only* aic7xxx driver that seems to work with my particular hardware combination (Dell Latitude CPxJ w/APA-1480A) under Linux, I was wondering how close we are to a release date... I haven't seen a lot of feedback on the new driver, which isn't necessarily a bad thing :-). You may correctly infer from the above that I've managed to get the new driver (6.0.9BETA) working with David Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (version 3.1.24). Support for the new aic7xxx driver will be in pcmcia-cs-3.1.25, so if the driver file layout is going to change significantly in future releases, now would be a real good time to say so :-). For what it's worth, the patch sets to install the new driver source tree in the Linux 2.4.X source distributions are appreciated. Thanks for all the good work!!
