As far as I know it should work. I've used the 948 (ultra) as well as the
956 (wide) under 2.1. The only problems I know of are that:
1) wide ID's (ID's 8 to 15) will not be configured by the driver (but ID's
0 to 7 *will* run in wide mode). This is fixed in 3.0.
2) You may need to use either the "aha" or "bios" bootstraps, and which one
works is non-obvious and may vary between motherboards.
3) The card may show up at either 330 or 334, so you need both "bha0" and
"bha1" configured in the kernel.
I expect to address problems 2 and 3 after 3.0 ships (I haven't had time to
revisit them). 3 is simply a case of treating the adapter as a PCI device and
scanning the PCI space.
If you could be more specific regarding what problem(s) you're having, I
could probably give you a better answer.
