I guess you do not have a source package which does not depend on a
certain kernel source three? I hear rumors again good/bad aic79xx
driver, but either people point me to some Adaptec driver source which
is meant to replace the kernel dir, or to some another source which
relies on newer kernel versions or seems to rely on 2.4.20 but still
does not build with them, then there is another story about working
aic79xx driver in 2.4.21 (which AFAICS won't go into boot-floppies) but
others said that it is not recent enough for the latest models and you
some hacker patch to make it work. So could anyone bringt light into
this issue and summarize all the information about this weird Adaptec
product and Linux support issues?

MfG,
Eduard.
