A major change just went into the QLogic FC driver in how it evaluates fabric
membership.

In short, GA_NXT is no longer used. Instead, GID_FT builds a list of Port IDs
and for each one GPN_ID/GNN_ID are run to get Port/Node WWNs. A tighter
auditting of FS_ACC/FS_RJT is made.

So, for all of you out there with Brocade 3.0 f/w that use zoning- the isp
driver should start working for you again. Ahem. If there is anyone this list
who this applies to.

You can go back to the old behaviour by uncommenting the line in ispvar.h
that is:

/* #define      ISP_USE_GA_NXT  1 */    /* Use GA_NXT with switches */
