Well...I won't be running RedHat at all... not how it's packaged in
it's current form though... I did get the rev7 aic7xxx to work
on slackware and debian... so it should also work with RedHat...
Simply unpack a kernel... patch it with the driver and then compile
it, install it (prolly keeping a "clean/working" kernel in a safe place)
and off you go :)
