Subject: [Linux-ia64] Latest QLA1280 driver patch
Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2001 20:22:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590698805092@msgid-missing> (raw)
Hi
I would like to announce the latest version of my patch for the QLA1280
SCSI driver.
The latest patch can be found at
http://www.trained-monkey.org/jes/linux/ the current release is 3.25.5,
relative to the driver shipped in David's 2.4.8 010815 kernel.
If someone has the opportunity to test this patch in a non ia64 box that
would be great. Unfortunately I only have access to the one qla1280 in
the ia64 box.
I have attached a list of the most significant changes I have made to
the driver so far.
Enjoy,
Jes
Rev 3.23.5 Beta August 9, 2001, Jes Sorensen
- Don't use SA_INTERRUPT, it's use is deprecated for this kinda driver

Rev 3.23.3 Beta August 6, 2001, Jes Sorensen
- Provide compat macros for pci_enable_device(), pci_find_subsys()
and scsi_set_pci_device()
- Call scsi_set_pci_device() for all devices
