This effort will migrate Emulex's current code base to a driver centric to the Linux 2.6 kernel, with the goal to eventually gain inclusion in the base Linux kernel. A new project has been created on SourceForge to host this effort - see http://sourceforge.net/projects/lpfcxxxx/ . Further information, such as the lastest FAQ, can be found on the project site. We realize that this will be a significant effort for Emulex. We welcome any feedback that the community can provide us. Thanks, -- James Smart Emulex Corporation
