Posted: Sun Jun 12, 2005 12:26 am Post subject: driver for Silicon Image 3132 ? |
|
|
I have a an MSI Diamond SLI motherboard which has the new Silicon Image 3132 PCIe SATA II controller.
This seems to be a very good controller but has no linux driver that I could find. The current iterations sata_sil do not support it.
I have searched high and low for a driver for the sii3132 but have found absolutely nothing.
has anyone seen/used a driver for the SiI3132, beta or other wise? |

There's some fedora/RHEL/Suse binary-only drivers on Silicon Image's website.
http://www.siliconimage.com/support/downloadresults.aspx?pid=32&bios=0&drivers=1&sataraid=0&
keyword here is 'binary-only'.
I suggest we mark Silicon Image as yet another company that Just Doesn't Get It when it comes to linux, forget them and move on.
FOLLOWUP:
here is a reference to some work:
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html#sil24
and googling over some kernel emails vis a vis Garzik, perhaps Silicon Image did provide some documentation and hardware to Garzik et al. Perhaps Silicon Image does "get it", and the 3132 stuff just hasn't made it into the mainstream kernel yet. I dunno. _________________ Anyone who puts a small gloss on a fundamental technology, calls it proprietary, and then tries to keep others from building on it, is a thief.

It's supported in kernel 2.6.15:
Code: | Device Drivers --->
SCSI device support --->
SCSI low-level drivers --->
<*> Serial ATA (SATA) support
<*> Silicon Image 3124/3132 SATA support |
