I don't believe the aic94xx driver is the same as adp94xx, which has proprietary code. Given Debian's strict policies, I would be surprised if they adopted adp94xx code. I tried to install a modified Debian stable (2.6.18 kernel + aic94xx) install without success. That when it was indicated to me that the adp94xx is needed. RedHat reportedly comes with adp94xx drivers, which are required for my specific Adaptec chip. I was hoping grml had them too, as indicated in the README.
