7880 is part of standard kernel
Adaptec AIC7xxx chipset SCSI controller support
CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX
This is support for the various aic7xxx based Adaptec SCSI
controllers. These include the 274x EISA cards, 284x VLB cards, 294x
PCI cards, 394x PCI cards, 3985 PCI card, and several versions of
the Adaptec built-in SCSI controllers on various PC motherboards.
Information on the configuration options for this controller can be
found by checking the help file for each of the available
configuration options.
It is reportedly broken in the 20.35 kernel but works fine in 2.0.33
don't know about 2.0.34
