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

[r35157anc3 <leo@leosandbox.org>]

Thanks very much. I've made it as far as setting up the network devices. 
I now have fc0 network device and with an internal ip, but I can't 
figure out how I am supposed to mount it? I can mount it over scsi?  
What if I am trying to access the fc remotely? I guess I just don't 
understand, but beyond setting up the qla2xip kernel drivers, the 
documentation doesn't say much.
