Hi Jeff,

Please find our new 10Gb ethernet driver at the following site:

ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/network/linux/upstrea...

There are two files at this location:
qlge-aug212008.patch - A full patch that is buildable on the latest netdev/upstream kernel.
qlge-aug212008.tar.bz2 - A zip file of the source code at drivers/net/qlge/*

We are targeting this driver for 2.6.28 release.  We look forward to any and all comments.

Notes:
1) The file qlge_mpi.c (Management Port Interface) is mostly stubbed right now but will have functionality to handle setting up wake-on-lan and getting/setting link paramters.
2) Please ignore "#ifdef PALLADIUM".  It will be removed going forward as it's currently used for a test platform.

Regards,
Ron Mercer
Qlogic Corporation
