+There are 2 latest stable versions of this driver:
+-
+
- The first one is 3.0.1. It requires Linux kernel version 2.6.26.x or higher and + SCST version 3.0.1 or higher. Driver in qla2x00t subdirectory is the old one, forked from + qla2xxx from kernel 2.6.26. It does not support 16G QLogic adapters and is not maintained anymore. +
- Another version you can find in the SVN trunk. This driver supports 16G Hilda + chips and has passed intensive internal SanDisk tests. It is stable and production ready. + However, it does not support the latest post-Hilda QLogic chips. This driver should also support FCoE, + but that has never been verified. This driver is in stable maintenance mode in favor of the + QLogic git tree driver (see below). +
+ The latest version of this driver with full support of the latest QLogic chips for both FC and FCoE you can find in + git://git.qlogic.com/scst-qla2xxx.git. This driver also supports T10-PI functionality. + It is maintained by QLogic, hence located in the QLogic's git. See SVN root README + for instructions how to integrate it into the SCST build tree. However, not all + improvements from the SVN trunk target driver have been integrated in this driver yet, + so it is not as stable and functional as the SVN trunk driver.
