I have an Adaptec 2100S RAID controller coming to me, when I surfed the Adaptec site, I couldn't find the Storaga Manager utilities for SuSE Linux at all, and the driver for SuSE up to v7.0... Anyone with ideas on how to run this controller with SuSE 9.2?

I have a 2120S and SuSE 9.2 would not install, hanging at the loading aacraid driver. I flashed the cards firmware to the latest version and the install worked. The Storage Manager software that came with the card would not detect the card when installed and run. I uninstalled it and installed Adaptec Storage Manager-Browser Edition v 1.23 for Linux from the Serial ATA RAID 2810SA Downloads page.I then installed the command line utilities that came with my card.
