Driver Download
Download the driver for the Silicon Image 3132 chip, which is the chip on the EC2 card. You can either download the correct driver, or you can install the driver from the CD that came with your EC2 card. Downloading the driver may be safest since Silicon Image may release new drivers since you bought your card. Make sure to download the BASE driver, not the SATARAID5 driver.
