  I am running AHA-2940UW's on several machines and they work great.
There is support for them in the menuconfig and xconfig setup. I'm
running kernel 2.0.29 and 2.0.32.  I have been using them for some time now, 
(more than 6 months) and have NEVER had a problem with them.

  All machines uses both SCSI channels, wide and narrow, without problems.
4.3 Gig Fast Wide Drives and plenty of narrow CD-ROM drives, Jaz disk and
an HP SCSI scanner, etc.  All work flawlessly.

  If I ever need another, I won't hesitate to buy another Adaptec 2940UW.
