Hmmm, between them, the man pages for qlxgb and qlxgbe say they support:

 * QLogic 3200 series (qlxgb)
 * QLogic 8200 series (qlxgb)
 * QLogic 8300 series (qlxgbe)

Should we add them to the "hardware support by release" table?

Vinícius, with your card, do you know the exact model number?  IBA7322
seems to be the controller chip on the card itself, not the adapter model
number, so it's hard to tell which series it belong too.

Saying that from looking through the QLogic IB Adapters PDF:

  http://filedownloads.qlogic.com/files/driver/78254/Install_Guide_QLogic_IB_Adapters_A.pdf

Page 3-5 mentions it, as well as Figure 3-1 on that same page. :)

Regards and best wishes,
