Hi
This is highly orientative and short for that matter since I
haven't use for some time one of those controllers.
Basically you have to insert a special module for your card and I'm
not sure if the Storm installer have it.Anyway after the installer
detects your hardware you get an option to add modules .Click that and
look there for the module you need.I think it's called sbpcd-close
anyway.
If you have another Linux distro then you can do an lsmod and see
exactly
waht's needed .
It's not much but you have a guidline what to look for.
