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
