As Christoph said I'm working on a driver for the TachLite TL/TS/XL2 chips. Initially I just wanted to add support for the integrated PHY on XL2 so we could support those cards on PA-RISC. But when I started looking at the driver I came to the conclusion that it was just too ugly to live. Architecturally, the overall design of cpqfc just doesn't fit in well with Linux. So I'm rewriting it from scratch - but that obviously takes a while. I think it's cool that you want to hack on cpqfcTS. But be aware that it's not just a matter of running lindent and making it compile in 2.6.late. And without hardware it's going to be hard. Fibre channel is very finicky. If you manage to get your hands on hardware (cards - avoid Tachyon 5000 series. TachLite 5100, 5166 or 5200 is what you want, disk array, hub/switch, GBICs, etc.) I wouldn't mind some help... -- Martin K.
