40 This driver provides access to
46 SCSI features include support for Ultra SCSI and wide mode transactions for
48 and LVD (for the ISP1080 and ISP1280),
50 Fibre Channel support uses FCP SCSI profile for
52 and uses Class 3 connections only.
53 Support is available for Public and Private loops.
54 Command tagging is supported for all (in fact,
62 declarations will disable the download of driver firmware, which means you
63 use whatever firmware is running on the card.
64 If no firmware is running on the card,
65 the driver cannot operate the card.
71 declarations (can be OR'd in with the other config flags option)
72 will keep the driver from looking at device or bus NVRAM settings (this
73 is in case NVRAM is just wrong and you have the card in a platform where
74 it is inconvenient to change NVRAM settings on the card).
76 Supported cards include:
78 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxx -offset indent

127 driver was written by Matthew Jacob for NASA/Ames Research Center.
129 The driver currently ignores some NVRAM settings.
131 The driver currently doesn't do error recovery for timed out commands
134 Sometimes, when booting, the driver gets stuck waiting for the Fibre Channel
135 firmware to tell it that the loop port database is ready.
136 In this case you'll see an announcement that the loop state has a
138 To unwedge the system, unplug and replug the fibre channel connection,
139 or otherwise cause a LIP (Loop Initialization Primitive sequence) -
140 this will kick the firmware into getting unstuck.
