# EOT

what is this list supposed to mean?

is it just a list of drivers that have an arbatrary set of features? does this list mean that all these drivers work on the systems listed with no known problems and any other drivers in the kernel don't work? something else?

"Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
by definition, not smart enough to debug it." - Brian W. Kernighan

qla1280 doesn't work on sparc (neither 2.4 nor 2.6) since it uses flush_cache_all symbol from MM internals and there's no such internal function on sparc.
