i was just wondering if there was any further progress on a possible native kernel driver for the promise 20376 sata chip... i have it running now but with the proprietary driver from promise's website.... but it seems to work well,

Timing buffer-cache reads: 1692 MB in 2.00 seconds = 846.00 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 232 MB in 3.01 seconds = 77.08 MB/sec

much better then the reported silicon image tests i have seen.... i hope someone is still talking to promise about releasing the full source to get this into the kernel or working to reverse engineer a driver... all the information i have found searching lkml seems to be atleast a couple of months old.
