Comment 21 for bug 344093

Update from the kernel mailing list: there is a patch now that gets the drive working (swncq-polling-pio.patch from the list archive link above). Someone else on that thread has reported success, however low performance (UDMA/33). I have built 2.6.31-19 using the latest Ubuntu 9.10 sources as of 02/21/2010 with all three patches from the kernel thread and I can report the same experience. The drive was detected, but only after a few errors and at a reduced speed (33). Also, I am unsure if all of them are necessary or just the one referenced in this comment.
