    Installation is easy, so long as you follow the README instructions,
    including the applicable notes regarding editing your bootloader config
    file. The only problem I had was trying to use pre-partitioned HD's.
    All went well after a low level format.

    In order to use their driver with any kernel upgrades, you'll have to
    recompile the driver module. I haven't gotten to that yet, but will
    soon, so I can eliminate the recently discovered kernel vulnerabilities.

    If you recompile the driver module, let me know how it went!
