hi all, Here in my lab, we are developing a device driver for InterPhase 6526, HP Tachyon based FC card. I try to take QLogicFC as my reference driver. Of course it's somewhat hard as QLogicFC card seems to have straight support for SCSI->FCP translation. Instead, the HP Tachyon chip complexity is less masked by the PCI<->TSI(Tachyon System Interface) logic. now the questions: 1) it could be reasonable to create a mid/low layer FC driver architecture, as for SCSI, couldn't it be ? I know of "linux/drivers/fc4/*" but it seems too customized for the SUN card. 2) is it instead meant that FC has to be under the SCSI layer ?
regards.
