The Qlogic copyright issues have been resolved and the f/w is about ready to go back into the tree, but I tend to agree with Drew here that you should upgrade your SRM. When the f/w does go back into the tree, it's probable that it *won't* be enabled to be compiled in by default (because the driver supports multiple cards with multiple f/w sets, the f/w was beggining to add 100KB to the driver.... completely outta hand...). -matt On Sat, 20 Nov 1999, Andrew Gallatin wrote: > > Wilko Bulte writes: > > > > Best guess is currently that something in the isp driver changed that made > > the marriage of the IBM disk and the isp card a less than happy one. > > > > <...> > > > isp0: Board Revision 1040B, resident F/W Revision 2.10.0 > > <..> > > The isp change is that due to problems with the Qlogic firmware > copyright, Matt felt he had to remove the Qlogic firmware from the > FreeBSD (and NetBSD) trees.
