QLW(4)

💅 qlw — the QLogic SCSI controller page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, welcome to QLW(4) from the Kernel Interfaces Manual — yes that's the section 4 girlies, driver docs only, we don't do shell commands here 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

qlw — the QLogic ISP1000/1020/1x40/1x80/1x160 SCSI controller driver. that's the whole name. iconic, concise, ate. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, where does this thing even attach? here:

qlw* at pci?
qlw* at sbus?

pci or sbus, pick your fighter 🦋

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so the qlw driver is out here providing support for QLogic Ultra Wide SCSI host bus adapters — and specifically the ones running these chips:

• ISP1000
• ISP1020/1040
• ISP1080/1240/1280
• ISP10160/12160

that's the lineup. no cap, that's literally the list 💅

🫶 important vibe check: qlw provides no ability to configure an adapter's parameters at runtime. like, zero. none. all configuration must be done prior to booting OpenBSD. so do it before, bestie, not during. that's the rule and we respect it 😭
