Qlogic fibre drivers

Qlogic fibre drivers

[Derek Richardson]

All,
Does anyone have any experiencing using the QLogic fibre drivers? 
Namely, the v5.x and (newer) 6.x versions.  I'm currently trying to
_disable_ multipathing/failover capabilities in the version that ships
w/ RedHat 7.3 (tho. I don't have to use this particular one, just a 5.x
or later) and having a hard time w/out modifying the driver's source
code.  Googling and looking at all the notes/docu. doesn't reveal any
parameters for the module, does anyone know of one?  If not, do you know
of how to disable it in the source code (yes, that's me being lazy and
not wanting to dig...).
Thanks,
Derek R.

The 6.0B20 driver from the Qlogic site has MPIO_SUPPORT in qla_settings.h
set to 0. I have been running this driver with no MPIO support.
