We're planning to go back with a new submission which addresses the
concerns that were directly relevant to the patch itself. In the
process, we'll be porting the patch to 2.6.14.

A couple of comments:

If one were to look at the patch in its current form, you'd find that it
is already quite minimal compared to the changes needed for 10GE TCP/IP
alternatives.

The architecture that we propose also accommodates different TOE
approaches, e.g. different connection setup models, etc.

We currently have the proposed architecture running on Linux in
conjunction with a regular NIC, iWARP RNIC, and iSCSI HBA.

Finally, with the new submission, we're hoping to get a more
constructive dialogue going, which focuses on the patch itself, because
it is clear that there is user interest in the technology, and Linux
support would be beneficial to all parties.
