Doug - I am already running 5.1.27... I used your "latest" code on the
website and recompiled my kernel to run the aic7xxx code as a module
(why you would want to run the aic7xxx code as a module other than to
facilitate upgrades, I'm not sure.) I'll double check to make absoulutely
sure that I'm running 5.1.27 on the 2.l2.20 kernel, but I am 99.99 percent
sure that I'm running the latest AIC code.
