This TexRam DC-315U SCSI card is something I own.  In order to get it to work in
the 2.2 kernel series it required a source download and a kernel compile.  I
have not yet succeeded in getting it to work with the 2.4 series kernel.

No 2.4 support available as far as I can tell.  Do you know something I don't
about how to get the Tekram scsi cards based on thier own 1040-S chip to work
with 2.4?  These are the Tekrams DC-3*5 cards.
