Completed just fine on the DS25, though I haven't run the SMP kernel
for any significant time.

Further successes include:

	MIATA/PWS (EV56 @ 600MHZ)
	XP1000 (EV67 @ 667MHz)

I noticed that the "qlogicisp" driver is being used for the QLogic SCSI
controllers.

The AC-1.0 kernel (albeit 2.6.11-based) is using the enhanced qla1280 driver
now, as we benefit from the work of someone who ported that driver to support
the earlier 1020/1040 controllers. That driver (qla1280) is much preferred
over the older (non-maintained) "qlogicisp".

So, is "qlogicisp" the only driver that supports 1020/1040 that is in
2.6.9, or is this just an oversight?

Thanks.
