Comment 1 Mike Christie 2009-06-27 18:24:52 UTC
This is a new driver in 5.4, so no chance for regression and Chelsio is actually doing the QA/QE for us, so adding the patch will not invalidate our testing.

in kernel-2.6.18-158.el5
You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5

Please do NOT transition this bugzilla state to VERIFIED until our QE team
has sent specific instructions indicating when to do so.  However feel free
to provide a comment indicating that this fix has been verified.

JFYI, we tried the kernel-2.6.18-158.el5 and the problem is no longer happening, the connection went through fine.
