QLogic Fiber channel HBA support
Does anyone know if the QLogic QLA2200F card is supported by ia64 linux?
Qlogic has new driver source code on its web site (all written in C); will this code compile and work correctly.
I am purchasing a Dell 7150 server and am considering an FC storage system.

Looks like the qla2x00 does support that series. I've never tried it. But:
grundler <536>fgrep -l virt_to_bus drivers/scsi/ql* drivers/scsi/qla1280.c drivers/scsi/qla2x00.c
has me nervous. virt_to_bus is definitely obsolete and was one of the things I had to fix in the megaraid driver despite similar KERNEL_VERSION ifdefs for *most* usage.

I'm not convinced linux has a good FC story yet. The disk racking systems are way over priced. emulex has a closed source driver and cpqfc isn't tested with many devices. Don't know where qlogic or LSI are WRT to drivers and supported features. I'd be interested in any summaries people are aware of.
