[ale] Promise support?

[greg.freemyer at gmail.com (Greg Freemyer)]

Robert,

No first hand exp., but the Promise Driver has been advancing rapidly
since Dec. 06

I would avoid 2.6.19 and earlier for sure.  (not sure what Etch is using.)

After that, probably the newer the better.  2.6.22 just came out a
little while ago.

Also, I would ignore the RAID (fake-raid) capability of the card and
just use software raid unless you have a specific reason to try it.
