Yes, it will, if it is accepted ...
I added lots of debugging code, which I will clean up a little bit more and
then release a 1.27 for kernel inclusion.

You are using the driver version 1.10 or 1.11, right? Forget it!
You can sort of force it to work by both disallowing WIDE transfers and
disallowing disconnection (which is bad!).
Better get 1.26 from
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/garloff/linux/dc395
http://www.garloff.de/pub/linux/dc395/
If you find bugs, please send reports to me (and to l-scsi if you like).
