However, it may not be all that bleak. The latest Slackware 3.0 CD (which I'll be happy to send you if you don't have a copy, Julian) contains this in its `live' filesystem directory: /live/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/qlogic.[ch] The accompanying text says: Qlogic linux driver - work in progress. No Warranty express or implied. Use at your own risk. Support Tort Reform so you won't have to read all these silly disclaimers.

Griffith grif@cs.ucr.edu Thanks to Eric Youngdale and Dave Hinds for loadable module and PCMCIA help respectively, and for suffering through my foolishness during the debugging process.
