RE: Supermicro P4SCT+ Marvell 88SX504 controller

Hmmm, that sucks.  There are linux drivers.  I wonder if there is a way to
get the specs from the linux developers.  I'm going to put in a call to both
Supermicro and Marvell and see if I can round up:

Supermicro: a demo board
Marvell: specs, references, and code samples

Anything else you'll need to get this rolling?

The problem is not with there being no desire to make this hardware 
work, it's that Marvell refuses to provide any specs, references, or 
code samples that could be used to write an open driver.
