Not sure what's going on with VGER, but several folks appear to be
having some difficulties getting the patches (including my own
@pobox.com account).

All the patches can be found at the following URL:

And a final incremental patch which fixes some backout problems with
patch #1:

ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/patches/8.x/8.00.02b10k/13-sm_fixes.diff

I apologize for the confusion (still not sure what's going on).
