We've spoken with Emulex about writing a 7000 driver and are finalizing the
licensing issues. The only sticky point left is whether or not we can GPL
the resultant driver, but we hope to have that worked out shortly.

It'll be nice to have the 7000 in the Linux world. Right now it's one of
the only cards to support both IP and SCSI.
