The QLogic firmware can be downloaded from the Qlogic WWW site (for 2100 there is a link on the page http://www.qlc.com/bbs-html/qla2100.html , I guess the same it true for the other boards) and flashed onto the board. I'm not sure about the Alpha systems but on PC their flash utility works fine. I used it recently to get it working with a commercial Unix. Or is it some different kind of firmware ? -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
