Re: Sun 1 gb dual s/bus fibre card X6757A (375-3048)



Pat,

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I posted the card's id incorrectly. I subsequently requested information on 540-2989 which Chris responded to in like fashion, to whit:

"This is a FC-100 card which uses the FCAL driver.
The FC and FCAL drivers have not worked since 2.2.x and are
currently unmaintained.

It sounds like a similar story to yours.

Q. Have you heard a similar progress story on this as well? (I run debian on all my Sun hardware except the Sparcserver which is using the fibre channel. Unhappily, I have to run Solaris on this as it's the only o/s with drivers to my knowledge)

Thanks

John

I believe there was a working driver in late 2.2.x kernels, but from 2.4
on, it has been broken because of a major SCSI layer change in 2.3.x.
Someone (Dave Miller?) is said to be working on fixing up the driver
(SOC+ for that card), but last I heard wasn't making much progress.
