Re: Status of qlogic tcp/ip (fc0) support

[Fabien Salvi <fabien@cri74.org>]

Hello, I've CC the email to the list, other people could be interested...

Well, it wasn't very difficult.
After building qla2?00.o with IP option and building qlaip, you just 
have to load these 2 modules.
Then, you can see a new network interface (see ifconfig -a).
You can use it like any ethernet devices...

You may also encounter difficulties related to FC connection between 
your servers. In my test, I was using Qlogic Sanbox2 switch with 
broadcasting activated.
