No, that's not true; we are TOTALLY committed to getting all of our drivers in the upstream kernel. I have been working on the ISCSI driver cleanup to the level of our Fibre Channel driver as Andrew has done. I'm making it conform to the current linux-scsi API, ISCSI transport, and stripping out all of the failover baggage. My goal is the have something upstream in 2 - 3 weeks, if not before.

It's never been posted to linux-scsi, and the driver they pushed to SuSE ignores everything we've said about scsi low-level drivers. It looks like the iSCSI part of Qlogic simply doesn't care about Linux (that is upstream, not the major forks) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
