Subject: Re: iSCSI support in Linux

Hi Jay,

Thanks a lot for your response.

There is seems to be generic iSCSI driver (/drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c).
 So why are we having separate drivers/scsi/be2iscsi ?  is it specific
to emulex storage device ? This point is not clear to me.

I am network driver person, I am not familiar with SCSI/iSCSI. So any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Rayagond
