Emulex Linux Drivers package provides the sources for Emulex's LPFC (LightPulse Fibre Channel) family of HBAs. The source base is developed and tested specifically for the 2.6 Linux kernel.
This Emulex driver is derived from Emulex's currently shipping driver which supports several application and storage providers.
Intentions:
Emulex will be working with the open source community with the intention of achieving acceptance of this source into the upstream kernel.
Emulex will also continue to work with application and storage provider partners, many of whom are active members of the open source community, to evolve the code base to meet both upstream kernel and continuing business needs.
