Dan,
another option to consider is Qlogic's Linux driver, which can be
found at
http://www.qlc.com/bbs-html/csg_web/adapter_pages/driver_pages/22xx/22linux.
html
This driver has some significant improvements over the UNH driver. Note
that the
QLA2200 adapter provides you with Fabric as well as Loop capability.
The above driver is what we ship and it has a GPL license.
Frank
P.S. if you need an Alpha version, contact me.

I have an opinion that is biased. The Interphase 5526 controller is
available
and you'll get support from me since I am looking for beta sites. Send
me email and I'll see if I can you get a board for testing. The driver is
available as GPL'd code.
