You'll have to obtain a new boot disk with updated kernel patches - the
newer AHA2940 cards use a different signature to the older cards, and so
are unrecognised.

I obtained mine from ftp.infomagic.com ages ago - no idea if it's now
within Australia somewhere.

Now my AHA2940UW card works great under 1.2.13 (Slackware 3.0).

Cheers..
