cciss driver
Hello all,
I have noticed that there have been alot of changes to the cciss
driver in the last few revs of the 2.4 kernel a diff of 2.4.18 and 2.4.20 show this (2500 lines in a patch). But the driver version has not changed. I am trying to figure out how the version in the kernel relates to the version on hp's web site. On there website they have a 2.4.34 version that has patches witch will patch the kernel that comes with redhat 8.0 witch doesn't help me much because that kernel is an rc kernel with about 100 other patches 3 of witch touch this driver.
Can any one be of some help. I am going to be deploying alot of machines with this card in the next few months and would like some of the fetures the newer driver gets me.

You probably just want to grab either 2.4.21-pre2 or extract the cciss changes from that patch - that'll bring the driver up to 2.4.42, which, as far as I'm told, is the latest and (hopefully) greatest.
