Thanks for the reply. Emulex's OCE driver is present in Freebsd-8.3 http://svn.freebsd.org/base/release/8.3.0/sys/dev/ but it is not present in http://svn.freebsd.org/base/release/9.0.0/sys/dev/, is there a way to get this driver into 9.0.0 branch? And the same driver is present in 9.1-RC1 so can I assume that it is going to be part of 9.1-RELEASE? Please clarify.
