The 2.0.xx kernels won't support the 2940U2W by default, but if you
patch in the newer version of the aic7xxx drivers then it will.
I have a SCSI controller based on the AIC7890 chip(same as the 2940U2W)
and it works fine. Alternatevly, if you install the latest 2.1.x kernel
(2.1.128) the aic7xxx driver is already updated.
