Hey,
I already got a couple of single port PCI-X Cards which worked wonderfully
within a 1000BaseSX Ethernet LAN (also with a LSI chipset).
Currently, I got a nice LSI dual port FC Adapter which is equipped with two
1000BaseSX tranceivers with LC connectors. Wondering why no link comes up
on my switches, I saw that it is 'weiredly' set up to pretend it's a token
ring card, and no ethernet....:
fc0 Link encap:16/4 Mbps Token Ring Hardware Adresse
00:06:2B:0A:CE:E4
[...]
fc1 Link encap:16/4 Mbps Token Ring Hardware Adresse
00:06:2B:0A:CE:E5
[...]
Firmware version:
Current active firmware version is 01020c00 (1.02.12)
Firmware image's version is LSIFC929X-1.02.12 (6/15/2005)
Lsi Logic Corporation
That are the modules which are loaded.

I've also quickly checked the lsiutil, if I can choose anything about
topology from there but I didn't found andything appropriate...
Is there anything I can do about linking to 1000BaseSX Ethernet correctly,
or is it simply unsupported by this hba?
Thank you very much for your help,
Cheers,
Uli
