        Managers, we're looking to add FibreChannel support to some 
existing Alphas (DS20E's and ES40's) running Tru64 v5.1A (V5.1 1885 
alpha).

        We've installed the cards (DS-KGPSA-DA cards), can see them at 
the >>> prompt (wwidmgr works nicely, etc).  But when we boot our 
machine into t64 with the cards patched into our switch, it "lip 
storms" the switch, and the machine hangs.  This seems to be a driver 
issue.  I believe the OS is seeing it (after a doconfig), since it logs 
this on startup:

pr 19 15:28:51 shamrock vmunix: emx0 at pci1 slot 7
Apr 19 15:28:51 shamrock vmunix: emx0: Using console topology setting 
of : Fabric


        So, the long question is, what is needed to support these 
controllers on 5.1A?  I looked into NHD6, but that has nothing obvious 
in its release notes about FC support.  Any guidance is appreciated! 
Thanks!

                                         - Jeff
