All,

Second submission for the upstream inclusion of the qla3xxx Ethernet
driver. This is a complementary network driver for our ISP4XXX parts.
There is a concurrent effort underway to get the iSCSI driver (qla4xxx)
integrated upstream as well.

The following files are included and have been posted to the link below:

LICENSE.qla3xxx
qla3xxxsrc-v2.02.00k19.tgz

Changes in this release:
-Removed double buffering on receives.
-Added NAPI support.
-Removed elements in device structure that were already in netdev.
-Changed to pci_xxx_consistent calls instead of dma_xxx_coherent.
-Added ethtool support.
-Changed debug printing to use netif_msg_xxx.
-Changed DPC thread to work queue.
-Inlined numerous functions.
-Changed all functions to statics.
-Combined all source files to a single file.


Work in progress:
-Removal of debug functions.
-Possible changes for big endian architecture.

The driver has been built and tested using kernel 2.6.16-rc5.


Looking forward to any and all feedback.
