Network storage and kernel compiles, what a nice combination of threads for me. I'm trying to improve my cable gateway, a 90MHz Pentium running Debian Sarge, and can use some advice about compiling custom modules.
I recently bought a faster IDE controller, hoping to make my net storage faster. I got it for $40 at CompUSA. The chipset is Integrated Technology Express, Inc. IT/ITE8212 Dual channel ATA RAID controller (PCI version seems to be IT8212, embedded seems (rev 11) and it comes with a GPL driver for both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels which have not been rolled into Debian's stock kernel or source yet. I don't want to use the RAID function, just the controller.
