Sun Crypto Accelerator 6000 Cards

If you are not using the correct version of the Sun Crypto Accelerator (SCA) 6000
card driver, hot-plug operations on SCA 6000 cards can cause Sun SPARC Enterprise
M8000/M9000 servers to panic or hang. Version 1.1 of the SCA6000 driver and
firmware supports hot-plug operations after the required bootstrap firmware
upgrade has been performed. Version 1.0 of the SCA6000 driver does not support
hot-plug and should not be used.
