NOTE: With multiple adapters having different types and versions of Option ROMs, the loading of Option ROM depends on factors like System type (Legacy only, uEFI or dual bios), versions, first device initializing etc. So, it is highly recommended to use the same Option ROM (type and version) on all Chelsio adapters in the system. - 39895: iSCSI boot should allow multiple target and luns to save as boot device. - 36680: Need support for AARCH64 in uEFI driver. - 35708: [Lenovo]: HII is currently not supported on latest uEFI v2.6 machines. Workaround: Use "drvcfg -s" from uEFI shell to configure the adapter. - 23705: Need to show the PHY Firmware version of T5 BT cards. - 23143: [HII] Behaviour on IBM x3850 Gen 6 needs few modifications. ******************************************************************************** Copyright (C) 2023 Chelsio Communications.
