 probe to fail.

Sorry for all the problem you faced.

But you shouldn't add support of device which is not supported.
Netxen is now owned by Qlogic. You should first contact Qlogic to solve your problem.
Qlogic will take needed action based on problem.

Please write to me, with detail problem description.

I haven't been able to get link up on a NX_P3_B1 since 2.6.31.  The
driver complains about a firmware hang instead.  When I asked I was
told rev 0x41 was a preproduction rev.  So disable support in the
driver so no one is surprised the code doesn't work.
