2940 problems

I hate my 2940. :-) Nevertheless, I'd really like to get this box up and
running.

I've tried a number of combinations to get it up and running. I used a
different Linux box to compile a kernel, make a bootdisk, it didn't
recognize the drives.

I stuck the 2940 into antoher machine entirely, put a SCSI drive on it,
to no avail. I'm using the 2940 patch off the RedHat site, but it
refuses to recognize the card.

Yes: I did go through the RedHat HOWTO on the 2940 and followed their
instructions: disable sync negotiation, changed transfer rates,
removed/reconnected the card, etc.

No go.

Has anybody gotten this to work?

Hi.

I have a 2940W and it works fine, straight out of the box.  I went
into the BIOS and reset to the standards just to make sure...

There are several changes to ahc in the RELENG_2_2 branch after 2.2.1R,
and certainly things improved for me (I was having a problem with xcdplayer
hanging the system).

However, I'm betting that the underlying problem has not been solved, simply
that the newer driver can recover from screwing itself up whereas the 2.2.1R
version can't...

I posted some stuff to freebsd-hackers about it, but at the moment they seem
more concerned with stupid religious and personal wars rather than actually
doing anything about it. Several other people there have reported problems
too (also mostly with tape devices).
