I can't tell you about the SMP support, but the driver is NOT included
in the standard source tree. You need to get your hands on the IDE
patch from "The Linux IDE Guy". All his work is included in the 2.3.xx
and should be in the 2.4 kernel (much like the RAID).
This card has worked well for me, but I have yet to try it in a
software RAID. Using the "new"RAID patches.

Check out the patch, there are at least 2 other cards.
