Damn! That's terribly bad since I SERIOUSLY need it!
As we speak I'm checking out the CURRENT kernel (and reading a lot!), 
can someone point me on how to fix this Qlogic issue? Kernel driver 
development HOWTO?
By the way, I can do tests on that M5000 but is nowhere close to my 
office, I do have a T2000 (32 CPU, 32GB) in my office for my 
"play/joy/do as I please" with a quite similar QLogic card (pciX, not pciE)

Thx in advance!
