Hi all on linux-kernel!
Is it true that the PCMCIA Cardbus Adaptec SlimSCSI 1480A/B support is removed from kernel?
how can use such a card?

Hi all!
Please help, I have a notebook + Adaptec SlimSCSI 1480A Cardbus PCcard.
I have debian sid uptodate
If I compile a custom kernel with kernel-package, although the driver is listed in
Documentation/Configure.help, I cannot choose it with *config.If I write it in by hand CONFIG_?_APA1480=m, it doesn't compile, and I cannot find the .c source file neither. Nor in 2.4.18.
kernel-package 8.007
kernel-source-2.4.19-1
kernel-patch-freeswan 1.96-1.2
kernel-patch-mppe 1.1-1
kernel-patch-2.4-grsecurity 1.9.6-1

Can you help where this driver has gone?
maybe some of the patches removes?You can try to remove the patches to see if it come from one of them. However, I checked in kernel-patch-preempt-2.4, and it doesn't come from it.

maybe it's removed from mainstream?
It seems it is the answer. On a fresh untared vanilla 2.4.19 kernel, there is the option in the documentation, but the .c source doesn't exist.
However looking up indrivers/pci/pci.ids, you can see that the APA-1480 and AIC-1480 are the same PCI card. Morever looking indrivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_pci.c, there is a function namedahc_apa1480_setup.
I suggest you to try to enable the module "Adaptec AIC7xxx support" in "SCSI support ---> SCSI low-level drivers ---> Adaptec AIC7xxx support".
