Subject: HP server and atto driver from hell

We thought HP would be a smart choice when it comes to Linux,..
Until now, because now we have to use a PCI Express SCSI card that
comes with a proprietary driver that won't even compile.

When I untar the lnx_drv_epciu320_107.tar.gz and try to compile the
glue between the binary blob and the kernel, I get:

c# make -k modules
Architecture is i386 (x86_regparm)

in atto_cfg.c:

   258          if (this_drvr->kobj == &driver->kobj)
   259          {
   260              if (this_drvr->read_version)
   261                  return (*this_drvr->read_version) (driver, buffer);
   262              else
   263                  return 0;
   264          }

and in oswrap.o:

   905                  return NULL;
   906      }
   907
   908      return &atto_pci_driver.driver.kobj;
   909  }
   910
