+	through an IP network. The driver uses the iSCSI protocol to transport
+	SCSI requests and responses over a TCP/IP network between the host
+	(the "initiator") and "targets".  Architecturally, the iSCSI driver
+	combines with the host's TCP/IP stack, network drivers, and Network
+	Interface Card (NIC) to provide the same functions as a SCSI or a
+	Fibre Channel (FC) adapter driver with a Host Bus Adapter (HBA).

"To compile this driver as a module ..." boilerplate usually goes at the end
of description. Help text is indented with 2 spaces wrt "---help---":

	---help---
	  This driver manages multiple iSCSI transports. ...
