According to the redhat site, qlogic device drivers were updated in 
RedHat Enterprise 4, Release 5:

 >The following device drivers have been upgraded to new versions:

 >qla2100: 8.01.04-d7 to 8.01.04-d8-rh1
 >qla2200: 8.01.04-d7 to 8.01.04-d8-rh1
 >qla2300: 8.01.04-d7 to 8.01.04-d8-rh1
 >qla2322: 8.01.04-d7 to 8.01.04-d8-rh1
 >qla2400: 8.01.04-d7 to 8.01.04-d8-rh1
 >qla2xxx: 8.01.04-d7 to 8.01.04-d8-rh1
 >qla6312: 8.01.04-d7 to 8.01.04-d8-rh1

Interesting we seem to be a NEWER drivers on our Scientific Linux 4.5 
(x86_64) machines (8.01.07 vs 8.01.04). In fact these drivers seem to be 
NEWER than Redhat Enterprise 4, Release 6.

Where did these drivers come from ?
Is this expected/standard policy to include newer kernel updates than 
the TUV ?

Thanks,
