hi all,

We installed Coreos on Cisco UCS system. but we did not found Cisco VIC FC NIC driver on it.

#more /usr/share/coreos/release

COREOS_RELEASE_VERSION=1185.5.0

COREOS_RELEASE_BOARD=amd64-usr

COREOS_RELEASE_APPID={e96281a6-d1af-4bde-9a0a-97b76e56dc57}

we found upstream kernel has this driver https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/v4.7-rc3/drivers/scsi/fnic

so it there some ways to compile this driver into Coreos'e kernal ?

thanks

I've gone ahead and filed a bug [1] for you. In the future, feel free to
file those directly. We are generally open to adding support for various
hardware. I'll see if we can get this into the next Alpha release
(scheduled for next Thursday).
