Description	I guess 2005 is a long time ago now... First I discovered the wifi's so old that it's been dropped from the kernel at el8: https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=72163#p303513 Ghanks to toracat & pperry, the wifi's back up: https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=16635 https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=959 Now, I've stuck a sata cardbus card in the machine get some raid mileage out of some old hard drives, and... Just like the wifi, it's gone in el8: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html-single/considerations_in_adopting_rhel_8/index#removed-device-drivers_hardware-enablement Which says: 11.1.1. Removed device drivers Support for the following device drivers has been removed in RHEL 8: ... * ata drivers:: ... sata_uli Would it be possible to include the sata_uli driver for 8.2 (8.1 having been just missed)?
