I should, but haven't learnt how udev and automatic driver loading
works at some point. My Ubuntu machine didn't have a cciss card, I
pretty much only run RHEL/CentOS on servers and Ubuntu on my
Laptop/Desktop. I can't say I was confident in my recomendation
working, just confident that it wouldn't make it worse and may provide
more insight.
