Thanks for the feedback. This has been touched on before, there's
a big disparity in driver coverage between the 'regular' and fileserver
kernels, we don't run the fileserver on the same miscellany as the
regular kernel. I hope to address this, along with SMP, ATA drives, etc.
in the not too distant future.

That said, it shouldn't be hard to the retrofit the detection code
for the 2114x from the regular kernel into the fileserver, the drivers
have very similar structure at that point.
