Jeff,

Regarding your June 22nd post:

The actual downing of the adapter frees interrupts before issuing a
reset.  Perhaps you are referring to the ql_reset_work() path?  This
handles chip reset requests generated by the iSCSI driver or iSCSI
firmware.  What you see is that interrupts are masked and reset is
allowed to continue.  I have made a change where the interrupt is freed
before the reset continues.  I will post a new patch that covers all
issues tomorrow.
