I had a similar situation no to long ago, and it came out to be a negotiation parameter on the SAN side. Normally the switch is set to 2GB but Dell told us that with these new drivers it had to be set to AUTO. I will see if I can find the case we worked on. But I would take it up with Qlogic, if the OS can see the cards.
