Indeed, I too contacted them about a 2.6 driver and a few days later the 
only I response was that work was 'in progress' on a 2.6 driver.  Some 
of their newer hardware is already supported (they said, but I haven't 
checked).  Yeah, next time I'll just buy a real raid controller (and 
hopefully some better drives!).
