To be honest, I haven't looked at the differences between the two drivers, 
other than note that 2.1.4a only builds against 2.6.16 and supports the T* 
cards.  The support download page (http://service.chelsio.com/drivers/) 
lists 2.1.4a as supporting the T* cards in "NIC mode" and has a separate 
driver (2.2.0) with TOE support.
