Is it a new driver for a different device?
Perhaps someone from Chelsio can give more details, but my understanding is that this driver is not _yet_ in kernel.org, but it will be at some point soon. Until then, I was hoping to keep this driver in the openib repos since it is needed for the iwarp functionality. This driver supports a new iwarp-capable hw device. I think it will handle all the chelsio NIC devices though. So it will probaby replace the existing driver in kernel.org soon...
