Any tentative time-frame ? I'm also interested due to the presence of this controller disguised as Adaptec AIC-8110 on my Asus mainboard. Unfortunately Asus only provides binary drivers for RH 8 & 9 and equally ancient SuSE kernels on the CD that accompanied the board, so no hope form there. I have however found a driver with complete source (no .o files or I have missed them) at: http://file.abit.com.tw/pub/download/drivers/linux/marvell/mvsata340.zip It compiled without any problem for the 2.4 kernel of TaoLinux, but the performance is very low: hdparm shows only about 9Mb/s for a WD Raptor disk. I refuse to believe that this is a normal level of performance from this controller, the driver must be at fault... -- Bogdan Costescu IWR - Interdisziplinaeres Zentrum fuer Wissenschaftliches Rechnen Universitaet Heidelberg, INF 368, D-69120 Heidelberg, GERMANY Telephone: +49 6221 54 8869, Telefax: +49 6221 54 8868 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
