Hi Stephane, I would start with the driver maintainers and maybe CC the subsystem list, like linux-scsi. I know the qla2xxx driver is very similar to the qla1280 driver which I maintain, and that no longer uses SA_INTERRUPT. I am guessing the qla2xxx should be able to do so as well, but check with andrew.vasquez@qlogic.com Cheers, Jes
