About

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.

Kernel 3.x patch

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.
