Unfortunately, I have not much time for it now, so I can't expect release of 0.9.3 version, which is going to have the patch, earlier than in May. But I'm ready to publish 0.9.3-pre1 as well as some bugfixes in the Qlogic driver in the nearest future, as soon as I settle down some untechnical stuff. If somebody is interested, I can send him a copy privately. As before, it still has ZERO modifications of the kernel, so it could live perfectly outside the tree.
Also, everybody who think that he/she can help in testing, developing, bugfixing or just commenting/suggesting are welcome.
