Judging from recent messages on linux-kernel and from the code which is currently in 2.4.x the qlogicfc driver needs to be updated a bit. I have done some amount of work on this driver and have sent patches to Chris in the past, however I did not receive any comments on my changes. It looks like Chris is too busy with other things right now, and I will gladly maintain the driver if there is a consensus that the driver needs a new maintainer. Meanwhile I am cleaning up driver for 2.4.4 (not tested with 2.4.5 yet, but probably will work). I'll publish those changes if there will be any interest. It is a drop-in replacement for the five files in drivers/scsi/ (qlogicfc.c, qlogicfc.h, qlogicfc_inc.h, qlogicfc_asm_ip.c and qlogicfc_asm.c). This contains updated (both with and without ip support) firmware and many bugfixes. I decided not to provide a patch because it is bigger then just those five files combind. I have splitted up driver body into .h-file with types&defines and driver itself (as it should be). But this is negotiable. Sincerely, Dmitry Meshchaninov software engineer DataFoundation Inc
