How broken is the driver than ? What are the implication's if the driver is left as it is for now ?
It doesn't even compile in 2.4 for a number of archs like amd64.
This driver was initially intended only for i386 arch. Furthermore at that time when this driver was finalized amd64 wasn't available.
A while back a bunch of people (including myself) raised the concern through various channels with adaptec. In theroy someone at adaptec is working on it, but there was not an ETA.
If you have happen to have a list of issues with this current driver together with supporting information to back up those claims, please forward them to so that I can escalate those issues into Adaptec via the appropriate communication channel. I happen to have a number of contact's within Adaptec myself.
By the way I've hack the script file to make Adaptec I2O Option to appear in Linux 2.6.0 Kernel Configuration tool. Currently I'm now in the middle of recompiling the kernel using current dpti2o driver support but haven't got to the dpti2o driver yet.
