Subject: [ANNOUNCE] QLogic qla2xxx driver update available (v8.00.00b2).

All,

A new version of the 8.x series driver for Linux 2.5.x kernels has
been uploaded to SourceForge:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-qla2xxx/

In addition to the standard kernel-tree and external build tar-balls,
a patch file is provided to update v8.00.00b1 sources to v8.00.00b2.

Changes include:

* - Add support for new 'Hotplug initialization' model.
* - Simplify host template by removing unused callbacks.
* - Use scsicam facilities to determine geometry.
* - Fix compilation issues for non-ISP23xx builds:
* - Correct register references in qla_dbg.c.
* - Correct Makefile build process.
* - Simplify dma_addr_t handling during command queuing given
* new block-layer defined restrictions:
* - Physical addresses not spanning 4GB boundaries.
* - Resync with 2.5.69-bk8.
