I very strongly support that idea, right now all the changes I have made to the qla1280 driver have pretty much been done in the dark.
you have here latest drivers/firmware:
- latest: 3.12 August 17, 2000 http://download.qlogic.com/drivers/2206/qla1x160src-3.12.tgz
- beta: 3.23 January 12, 2001 http://download.qlogic.com/drivers/2209/qla1x160src-3.23Beta.tgz

Sorry but those drivers are old, totally obsolete and contain a lot of bugs. As I mentioned previously, I have spent quite a lot of time trying to update and improve the qla1280 driver.

well, but you can update the new firmware
linux-2.4.21-rc2-ac2:
ql12160_fw.h: * Firmware Version 10.01.19 (12:38 Oct 12, 1999) ql1280_fw.h: * Firmware Version 8.09.00 (18:29 Apr 16, 1999)
qla1x160src-3.23Beta.tgz/qla1x160src-3.12.tgz:
ql12160_fw.h: * Firmware Version 10.04.08 (11:30 May 31, 2000) ql1280_fw.h: * Firmware Version 8.13.08 (10:53 Jan 14, 2000)

The Firmware I am using is this:
ql1280_fw.h: Firmware Version 8.15.00 (14:35 Aug 22, 2000) ql12160_fw.h: Firmware Version 10.04.32 (12:03 May 09, 2001)
So no, picking the firmware from the driver on QLogic's web site would be a downgrade.
Cheers,
Jes

It's in 2.5, working with James on updating the driver, should also work on 2.4.

You are assuming the firmware doesn't change the hardware/driver interface. At least for some controllers thats a bad assumption

There is little chance that a 2001 driver will compile in 2.5, let alone run. Also, I can't find a driver for the ISP1020/1040---unless it's hiding somewhere.

difficult, qlogic ftp/http has a very bad index service and not all files are at http://download.qlogic.com/index.txt
but I think that they only have 3 LiNUX drivers:
- qla2x00 with official support
- qla1x160 obsolete
- qla4xxx for iSCSI QLA4000
