I guessed when I titled the subject line that you would respond. In my Google poking, your name came up a couple of times regarding this chip. I suppose Fedora will package 2.6.26.x for F8 at some point. (I wonder how long.) Till then I have a workaround: the machine has an internal SATA port on the Mother board and I can buy a passive cable that "converts" to the e-Sata form factor. Again, thanks.
