btw,
these URIs should be fixed:
qla2xxx/Kconfig:                ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/firmware/
qla2xxx/qla_init.c:#define QLA_FW_URL "ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/firmware/"

because ftp.qlogic.com is going to disappear, as stated in:
ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/IMPORTANT.THIS.FTP.SITE.TO.BE.SHUTDOWN

---cut---
QLogic Corporation FTP service - Access is monitored
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
                - IMPORTANT NOTICE -
QLogic Corporation will be shutting down this public ftp site by end 
of calendar year 2012.

Hi Xose,

Thanks for the heads up.  We have a patch pending (but no submitted yet)
that will fix the FTP URIs.  We will also be send a pull request to
