You think requiring a FIRMWARE UPGRADE is something that should be
done in the middle of a kernel bugfix series? What Q/A planet are you
from?
I made a bad jugdement.
I'll repost a patch series for 2.6.22 fixes against Linus'tree, and a
patch series for driver improvements against netdev-2.6#upstream, if it
is acceptable.
This is a completely ridiculous burden you are placing on the
individual user. A good driver knows that firmware NOT SHIPPED WITH
THE KERNEL does not necessarily move in lock-step with the kernel driver.
We're actively working on RDMA improvements, leading to these FW updates.
Some of the changes are unfortunately not backward compatible, hence the
exact matching the driver enforces.
The bundle driver/FW is getting finalized. New adapters will be shipped
with the right image once it is available.
In the mean time, this is indeed a burden for the current users to get
the corresponding FW.
