Well, assuming you're using one of the distros supported by Promise and assuming you're using the latest firmware with the card then things tend to work better. I spent the better part of a weekend fighting a card with older firmware and never thought to check that as the source of my troubles. Apparently after it was updated it installed without a hitch. Hopefully as linux matures further the development cycle will become shorter and/or more companies will actually have better (ie, any distro) drivers that'll work with any kernel, binary or not.
