There's better troll than you, Matti :) In a stock 2.6 kernel you get support for the following 2GB FC adapters: Qlogic 2xxx/6xxx (PCI-X/ PCI-Express) LSI Fusion IBM zfcp (okay, you need a mainframe for that, but.. :)) if you like a crappy out of tree vendor driver you can also get Emulex support. You belowed vendor JNI unfortunately only has binary only drivers for intel plattforms and 2.2/2.4 kernels.
