"board_type" is a encoding to find out number of physical port and phy speed. NX3031 (netxen_nic) and QLOGIC CNA (qlcnic) device have some common board form. But not all board types are valid for QLOGIC CNA device. We will clean this up. Thanks for pointing this out. -Amit -----Original Message----- From: Ben Hutchings [mailto:bhutchings@...arflare.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 4:49 PM To: Amit Salecha Cc: davem@...emloft.net; netdev@...r.kernel.org; Ameen Rahman; Anirban Chakraborty Subject: Re: [PATCH] net: add dependency on fw class module On Tue, 2010-06-22 at 23:54 -0700, Amit Kumar Salecha wrote: > From: Anirban Chakraborty <anirban.chakraborty@...gic.com> > > netxen_nic and qlcnic driver depends on firmware_class module. [...] By the way, I noticed that these drivers are very similar, and it looks like qlcnic has code for a bunch of NetXen boards even though it doesn't include their device IDs in its device ID table. Have you considered merging the two? Ben. -- Ben Hutchings, Senior Software Engineer, Solarflare Communications Not speaking for my employer; that's the marketing department's job.
