RocketRaid 2340 up to kernel 3.2

[paranoidi]

Personally I'm never going to buy another highpoint product again nor recommend one, at least as long as they are not natively supported by the linux kernel. Their support is just plain awful. Don't expect them to provide any support year or so after introducing the product.

So, let me help my fellow sufferers a bit by providing a patch file to get latest rr2340 driver to Ubuntu 12.04 (kernel 3.2). This was made possible by Nagilum's rr2320 patch file I found from http://cakebox.homeunix.net/wordpress/?p=227

Instructions:

Get the latest sources from http://www.highpoint-tech.cn/BIOS_Driver/rr2340/Linux/rr2340-linux-src-v1.7-090925-0900.tar.gz (http://ubuntuforums.org/wget%20http://www.highpoint-tech.cn/BIOS_Driver/rr2340/Linux/rr2340-linux-src-v1.7-090925-0900.tar.%20gz)

Use the attached patch file (get rid of .txt extension):

~/rr2340-linux-src-v1.7# patch -p1 -i rr2340-linux-src-v1.7.patch

And follow the normal annoying installation procedure.

This Patch doesn't work in all cases, because the make patchkernel command, for add the driver as a kernel-patch says kernel not supported.

It would be really great if this also would work

Works with Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Server AMD64 (Kernel 3.2.0-31-generic).
Thank you very much!

Hi, I am going to buy this RAID driver, but cannot find driver for 3.4.x kernel. The original site with drivers seems to be down. Could someone upload the latest driver and patch?

Thank you.

Attached the driver. Don't blame me if you have bad time with this card ...

Any chance of getting one for the rr2340 on the 3.5 kernel?
