Last time I asked him (ok, that's a looong time ago) he didn't want to submit it for 2.4. His driver is in 2.5 though but is 2.4-compatible. It would be really nice (TM) to see it in Marcelo's tree. > I thought for 2.5.x someone was maintaining an 8.x qla FC driver which was > in parallel with qla2xxx 6.x FC drivers maintained by qlogic. > I'm not sure what happened here since I don't see it in > David's linux-ia64-2.5 bk tree. Well, that someone is qlogic. But I don's see why it should go into the ia64 tree. Once qlogic got the driver in shape it and/or the feral driver should go into mainline. This is actually on the 2.6 should-fix list.
