    Now that in 2.6.16-rc the recommended method for firmware loading in
    qla2xxx is to load it from userspace, the firmware version problems
    should have become non-issues.

    If ypu have hardware that works in 2.6.16-rc2 with the qlogicfc driver
    but not with the qal2xxx driver, a bug report would be appreciated.
