The Open-iSCSI project is a high-performance, transport independent, multi-platform implementation of RFC3720 iSCSI.

This tool is to be used in conjunction with the QLogic NetXtreme II Linux driver (Kernel module name: 'bnx2' and 'bnx2x'), QLogic CNIC driver, and the QLogic iSCSI driver (Kernel module name: 'bnx2i').

This user space tool is used in conjunction with the following QLogic Network Controllers: bnx2: BCM5706, BCM5708, BCM5709 devices bnx2x: BCM57710, BCM57711, BCM57711E, BCM57712, BCM57712E, BCM57800, BCM57810, BCM57840 devices

This utility will provide the ARP and DHCP functionality for the iSCSI offload. The communication to the driver is done via Userspace I/O (Kernel module name 'uio').

This package is required to offload iSCSI onto these devices.
