Firmware binary modules provided by QLogic may be loaded with the standard
linux firmware blob mechanism, and in fact this is the default.
It should be noted that pulling random firmware blobs will get random
results. For example, 4.4.5 seems to crash and burn with target mode
here on 24XX cards. Normally this would be a cause for panic, yet the
more recent 4.6.0 version works fine. The trouble is that this firmware
may not be available in binary from the QLogic ftp site.
You can either hack on Makefile definies and compile in the QLogic firmware
sets included herein, or use the fwbin tool in the firmware directory to
make your own binary modules.
If you want multi-id firmware support enabled for the binaries built
with the fwbin module, change the in fwbin from
dowr '#define ISP_2400 1'
dowr '#define ISP_2500 1'
to
dowr '#define ISP_2400_MULTI 1'
dowr '#define ISP_2500_MULTI 1'
