Unfortunately, Qlogic has chosen to be difficult. This means, I am forced to make this private communication public to show our user base the truth about how I and all OpenBSD people have been led along and lied to by QLogic. Now it's up to us (=you) to show that we won't put up with that. This is the original email conversation between me and QLogic, mainly Pompey S. Nagra, product manager iSCSI HBAs: http://www.ini.uzh.ch/~stephan/qlogic-lies.txt After you have read this page, please send an email to the following people, cite this conversation and request (politely) shipping of the promised hardware. Do not cite any developer names, QLogic very well knows who we are and where they should ship the HBAs to (but do cite my name and the link to the converstation): Pompey S. Nagra : pompey.nagra@qlogic.com David Clark: david.clark@qlogic.com Amit Vashi: amit.vashi@qlogic.com Please make this issue as public as possible. It would be nice to also have it on undeadly and other media. -- Stephan A.
