Matthew's driver works on a variety of *nix platforms which QLogic
does not provide drivers for -- *BSD varients, etc. He also has a
fine target-mode driver which others can reference.

We've worked with various members of the open-source community to
address some of licensing issues. At this stage we provide
firmware-blobs for all our ISPs under the (3 clause) BSD license:
ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/firmware/
Firmware specifications are still tightly circulated.
