With the completion of testing at Adaptec and IBM, the latest version of
the ServeRAID Linux device driver ( ips Version 7.00.15 )is now
available. Attached is the patches against the previous ServeRAID
releases.  Basically, this is a convergence to a common ips driver code
base for the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.  

This driver is based on the driver currently in 2.6, so you while there
appears to be lots of changes to the 2.4 driver,  the changes to the
current 2.6 driver are trivial ( the only changes are  version number
changes and the addition of some new adapter ID's ).  For 2.4, this was
primarily a testing effort to ensure that the 2.6 driver code was stable
when built for a 2.4 kernel. 

The 2.4 kernel patch is ips611-patch and the 2.6 kernel patch is
ips700-patch. Let me know if you have any problems.

Jack,
	In future updates of the 2.6 ips driver could you consider adding
	the MODULE_VERSION macro. In case a modification is made to the
	driver and someone does not inc the version number the checksum
	diff would help point to some change in the source or help
	verify that the same source is being used.
