Package: kernel-latest-2.6-amd64 Severity: wishlist Please include qlogic SCSI drivers modules (qla2xxx, qla2300) in the kernel package. CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX=y CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2300=m and the rest :-)
Hello,The Qlogic drivers have been removed from the Debian-distributed kernels on purpose. They contain binary firmware code (microcode) without the corresponding source, which was deemed to be a violation of Gnu Public License and Debian Free Software Guidlines. For an extended discussion of the topic see bug 239952 [0]. If you require these drivers, you will have to build a custom kernel yourself.
