Hi, Here is round#3 of the patch. I think I've addressed all of the points that were brought up by Christoph last time. Once again, three patches: core, qla1280 and qla2xxx. The core patch expects to be applied on top of the patch that I sent recently to linux-scsi: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=107366419027588&w=2 thanks mh -- Martin Hicks Wild Open Source Inc. mort@wildopensource.com 613-266-2296
