Sarunas, Thanks for your accurate reply. I know that if I upgrade to
Edgy, the sata_sil24 is available. But in Dapper it is not.
Unfortunately, the computer is Dapper. How do I install this sata_sil24
driver in Dapper. Are you aware of a Linux/Ubuntu driver install? I have
searched quite a lot, but find nothing on how to do this.

Thanks,
Craig
