ATA over Ethernet driver 64 (For Linux 2.6 branch)

This driver allows the Linux kernel to use the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) network protocol. Using AoE, a Linux system can use AoE block devices like EtherDrive (R) storage blades. The block devices appear as local device nodes (e.g. /dev/etherd/e0.0). License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
The compatibility system was generalized. Support for the 2.6.26 Linux kernel was added.
