OK, I've begun the BK process again. This driver is now in BK at bk://linux-scsi.bkbits.net/scsi-qla2xxx-2.6 I didn't see any comments about Christoph's patches, so is it OK if I apply them? I plan to let it mature in it's own tree for a short while with the object being to get it into the right shape for a 2.6 inclusion candidate. The two items we still need to do something about are: - Multi Pathing. This really doesn't belong in the kernel - The odd ioctl set to the qla device...I'd much rather see something more standard that all FC drivers can use. James
