I'll assume you are talking about the HO board here.

yes. This board is the SST-8P with a different device ID.
Mail that I've exchanged with Equinox about this explained they
are contractually prohibited from supporting this board with
non-HPUX drivers.

Anyway, a few lines changes (I don't have the patch handy)
based on this note should be sufficient:

Add a few case statements where you find "case 0x9090".
I know this hack works with 4.04 eqnx driver becuase I'm using
the same HP card in an x86 machine linux as a console server.
Sorry - I don't have a patch handy or know exactly where I keep
the source for that at the moment.

uhm...no. Maybe 2.5 kernels or something. I've put the original
tarballs I found on:
	ftp://gsyprf10.external.hp.com/pub/equinox

I use modprobe.  :^P
IIRC, the tarball has a readme on how to build/install.
