Subject: [PATCH] mpt fusion: Improve fusion mpt drivers description
Date: Fri, 2 May 2008 18:32:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <00c901c8ac72$2198cb50$6400a8c0@bui.materna.com> (raw)

Since end-users may have difficulties finding the right configuration option 
for some popular LSI controllers,
this patch adds some information to drivers/message/fusion/Kconfig.

Also see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120967940402791&w=2

This attached patch is agaings current git.
