                 QLogic Fibre Channel Driver
     for Red Hat Linux 7.2, 7.3, 8.0 and Advanced Server 2.1
             and Suse Linux 7.3, and Enterprise 7

This directory contains the tools to uncompress the QLogic driver 
source files and install the SNIA HBA API library distribution for
LINUX operating system.


The following files are distributed in this directory:

readme.txt		This file.

BUILD_KERNEL.txt	Describes step by step how to build this
			driver as a part of kernel for RedHat and
			SuSe distributions.

SUPPORTED_KERNEL_VERSION.txt
			Mentions the differnet latest kernel versions
			this driver has been tested at the time of this
			release.

drvrsetup 		Script file to copy driver source files 
                        included in the driver source tgz file.
                        (See NOTE)

qla2x00src-<driver version>.tgz
                        Compressed binary distribution file for driver
                        sources. This file is the same type of driver
                        source tgz file as the ones used for
                        distributing earlier versions of the QLA2X00
                        drivers.

libinstall		Script file to install/setup HBA API library.

libremove		Script file to remove HBA API library.

qlapi-<api lib version>-rel.tgz
			Compressed binary distribution file for API
                        library.

ipdrvrsetup 		Script file to copy IP driver source files
                        included in the IP driver source tgz file.

qla2xipsrc-<IP driver version>.tgz
			Compressed binary distribution file for IP
                        driver sources.

Type the following command in current directory to copy driver source
files:

     ./drvrsetup

NOTE: Since the driver source tgz file in this distribution is of the
same format as the source tgz files distributed for earlier releases,
it is not necessary to use 'drvrsetup' to setup the driver source
files if you already have another established routine for extracting
the driver source files from the source tgz file.  Please read the
README.qla2x00 file included in the extracted driver source files on
how to make and install the driver.

Type the following command in current directory to install/setup API
library:

     ./libinstall

Type the following command in current directory to remove API library:

     ./libremove

Type the following command in current directory to copy IP driver
source files:

     ./ipdrvrsetup
