...which is provided by ISP4010 card, as appears on PCI bus:

04:04.0 Ethernet controller: QLogic Corp. QLA3010 Network Adapter (rev 05)
04:04.1 Network controller: QLogic Corp. QLA4010 iSCSI TOE Adapter (rev 05)

(the first (sub)device).  So it *looks* like the card has *both*
a NIC and iSCSI TOE adapter, and the NIC part is pretty much similar
to what qla3xxx driver expects...  That's why my curiosity. ;)

(not that it matters much, just.. curious, really.
Well.  Not exactly.  It'd be nice to compare a NIC w/o Jumbo
frames support (which we have on all machines connected to
the iSCSI segment), with something more.. advanced.  So I
wondered if I can utilize the NIC part of the ISP4010 for
the test.  iSCSI part of the card works significantly slower
than open-iscsi stack on non-jumbo-frames-aware Tigon GigE NIC).

Yeah, I know.  I posted some results to open-iscsi@ list about a week
ago.  It basically works (the new one, with open-iscsi infrastructure),
but is slooow... ;)

Thanks.
