I understand that the driver is in maintenance mode. However, the Linux kernel and its interfaces are not. We do not offer any guarantees in that department. So even if you do not intend to add new features to bnx2fc, you will still need to keep it current wrt. the ongoing changes in kernel interfaces (for better and for worse). -- Martin K.
