[Announce] Emulex lpfcdriver v8.0.28 available

[Announce] Emulex lpfcdriver v8.0.28 available

[James.Smart]

All,

I'd like to announce the availability of the Emulex lpfc driver
revision 8.0.28 on SourceForge:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lpfcxxxx/lpfcdriver-2.6-8.0.28.tar.gz?download

We are extremely pleased that the FC Remote Port support is now part
of the kernel for 2.6.12 (as of -rc1). We now have sufficient kernel
support for the integration of our driver.

We have been working with Christoph over the last few weeks to address
some last comments, and believe that this release is ready for
inclusion with the upstream kernel.

Thank You.

A first look at it looks nice indeed.  Care to submit it in patch form?

As Christoph said, you could have made my job quite a bit easier by
having a patch for the kernel tree as well...

However, this is the form I chose:

We can fix up any remaining issues in-tree.

James,

Sorry, we were in the midst of cutting the patch and testing it. Looks you beat us to it. Let me know if you need anything further from us.

Thanks.
