hi james,
thanks for the link to
http://www.iol.unh.edu/consortiums/fc/fc_linux.html. i was able to obtain
the source code for the isp2100 driver. anybody know where/how i can obtain
more documentation on the isp2100 chip like the chipset documentation,
firmware source, etc in order to gain a better understanding of the driver?
tx,
santosh
