This is the open-source Linux driver for the HighPoint RocketRaid 232x controller.
The origin open-source driver can be downloaded from the official Highpoint website.
The origin driver runs only on Linux systems with Kernel 2.4 and 2.6. To support newer Linux distributions with a 3.x kernel, the source code has been patched.
You can find the origin source in the src/
directory, while the patched source is in the patched/
directory.
Kudos to camper2 in the Ubuntu Forums, because he provided the patch.
