[ale] Fedora scsi module

[Dow Hurst]

Cor,
The best thing for you to do is install your distro's kernel source and 
compile a kernel that will make the advansys module for you.  You will 
have to look thru the SCSI modules for the advansys portion of the code 
and enable that to compile, of course.
