  I'm a newb... But I'm assuming when a driver is labeled for a specific 
version of linux (ie, rh8)... They mean that the driver is just for the 
stock kernel that came with it, right? I have a promise sx6000 in that 
system, and I think they just have 'redhat 8' drivers for it... would 
that kernel support the tx2?
