Actually, no, this is a hardware iSCSI card thats using the iSCSI
transport attributes so it presents the same appearance as the software
iSCSI stack.  The card itself and its driver have no net dependency.
We're getting the NET dependency from the use of the netlink transport
in iSCSI.  Ironically, we also have a corresponding NET dependency in FC
as well, again because of netlink.
