Because what I did was wrong. It should also be removed from OpenBSD.
I've had extensive discussions with Theo about this, and the f/w will
probably be removed from OpenBSD as soon as the tree unlocks post 2.6.
Unless Qlogic agrees to a BSD style licence. So far, they've not been
helpful at all.


One alternative I've been discussing with the Qlogic folks is to flesh
out their beta linux driver to have these f/w sets, and point people
at them. There are many possible ways around this, and for this, and
I think it's a huge pain, but it really should not have been handled
the way I handled it so far.
