Open source Linux drivers
Fetch sources from driver page on HighPoint website
Follow instructions on README
If kernel updates break the driver, the existing version of drivers can be rebuilt with:
bash /usr/share/hptdrv/rr2680/dist/hptdrv-rebuild
bash /usr/share/hptdrv/rr2680/dist/hptdrv-update
Card should alway be jumpered for PCI-E 4x (J7 pins 2-3)
If the card is not being detected / ROM is not showing during POST, check jumper configuration
