It's very similar to the atl1 driver, and needs a lot of the same work, though I have already fixed the 64-bit DMA data corrupter that atl1 users remember so fondly. Right now this is very raw, and there is a large amount of cosmetic work to do to make it more maintainable, but it should generally work, at least as well as the vendor driver does. While this is in pre-submission cleanup mode, the latest standalone source tarball and patch (currently against 2.6.23) will be available here: http://people.redhat.com/csnook/atl2/ If you have atl2 hardware, please give this a spin. I plan to submit the driver for merging some time in the next month or so. Questions, comments, patches welcome. -- Chris
