Who is in charge of the "in progress" driver for the Marvell 88SX5040?
I have a skeleton driver locally, need to get on to finishing it.

Marvell also have drivers for 2.4 and 2.6, but they are under NDA etc etc, and ignore libata (they also pre-date libata), so if you have hardware that you _must_ get working; they might be a useful stopgap.

I'll repeat my eagerness to test anything for the 88SX50xx or 88SX60xx, regardless of how primitive it is. My benchmarking with the Marvell driver shows the throughput to be excellent.

I would love to be buying the 8 port pci-x marvells for nas boxes where we're doing JBOD or software raid.

which is running around $110 at this point.
