I have no problems with submitting 1.17.38 EF for inclusion upstream. My only hope is that for the (other) 2100 user out there that use the latest 2100 firmware and are not experiencing problems, the downgrade does not break anything. That's another reason I posed the following question: > > Could I get another informal count of 2100 users who are still having > > problems with qla2xxx? Perhaps I should also ask: Who's running 2100 cards with the latest qla2xxx driver and are experiencing no problems? -- AV - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
