HP server and atto driver from hell

We thought HP would be a smart choice when it comes to Linux,..
Until now, because now we have to use a PCI Express SCSI card that
comes with a proprietary driver that won't even compile.

When I untar the lnx_drv_epciu320_107.tar.gz and try to compile the
glue between the binary blob and the kernel, I get:

c# make -k modules
Architecture is i386 (x86_regparm)
make[1]: Entering directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.25'
CC [M] /usr/src/lnx_drv_epciu320_107/src/atto_cfg.o

in atto_cfg.c:

258 if (this_drvr->kobj == &driver->kobj)
259 {
260 if (this_drvr->read_version)
261 return (*this_drvr->read_version) (driver, buffer);
262 else
263 return 0;
264 }

and in oswrap.o:

905 return NULL;
906 }
907
908 return &atto_pci_driver.driver.kobj;
909 }
910
