[plug] Linux support for Promise ATA100

[garry]

The card should be picked up when you restart your computer. Mandrake is one 
of the best at correctly picking up hardware on its own.

Be aware though, that the current mandrake distrobution is 8.1, and as usual 
a free d/l or inexpensive disk purchase from WALinux in Hilton.
