In order to accomodate the 4Gb QLogic card, the isp driver has had to be restructured in a pretty large way. The 24XX cards have the same rough architecture as all the other QLogic cards, but have massively changed inside (16 -> 32 bit registers; IOCBs that have same names and type fields but different layouts). Between this and the desire to make some changes that will make failover and N-port virtualization in target mode easier to handle, loop and fabric evaluation have also been rewritten (which also better accomodates the 2K port login f/w which is now standard even for 23XX cards). This is a big change and needs some serious test time to get right. The changes were so much that rather than impose this even on -current, some settle time in the FreeBSD Perforce sandbox seemed appropriate. If anyone would like to beta test these changes, please let me know. The more feedback now, the more painless the change later. The perforce depot is //depot/client/newisp. -matt
