DESCRIPTION
This driver provides access to a SCSI bus or a Fibre Channel connected to QLogic ISP1000 (SBus), ISP1020 (PCI), ISP1040 (PCI), ISP1080 (PCI), ISP12160 (PCI) SCSI host adapters or ISP2100 (PCI/SBus), ISP2200 (PCI/SBus) Fibre Channel or ISP2300 (PCI/SBus) 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel host adapters.

Features include support for UltraSCSI and wide mode transactions for SCSI, and Ultra2 LVD (for the ISP1080) and Ultra3 LVD (for the ISP12160) and the FCP SCSI (private loop, public loop or fabric) for Fibre Channel. Command tagging is supported for all (in fact, Fibre Channel requires tagging).

CONFIGURATION
Adding option ISP_COMPILE_FW to the kernel configuration file ensures that known good firmware will be downloaded to the driver at attach time. This is the default setting on sparc, sparc64 and macppc platforms, and is also recommended on platforms where the card's bios may not be initialized upon power-up.
