Request for Areca Support in Debian Etch



Hello Kernel Team,

i've tried more than one day to get a new server running with debian sarge. Problem is that i've a Areca ARC-1210 RAID-Controller and there is no ascmsr driver in any debian netinstall image.

I found an unofficial netinstall cd at http://www.tienhuis.nl/areca/ but this cd won't detect my RAID Array. But the new releases of SuSE Linux or Ubuntu working fine. But finally I want to stay with orginal Debian, so Ubuntu or SuSE are only Toys for me :-)

Is there a posibility to integrate the driver into the new debian relase. There are many small servers using this RAID-Card on market. So I think there is an need for it. I know the driver isn't in offical vanilla kernel yet. But it's included in the -mm Patches. That should be a good sign.

Greatings from Bavaria
