QLogic QLE2460 recognizs as Storage controller, not NIC. Need help.

Hi,

I finally got my FC to work, the only problem now is, that the PCIe card is not recognized as a network interface, but as a Storage controller, in Device manager. Does anbody here know how to change it, so that it gets recognized as a NIC, and not a storage controller?

I attached a screenshot of my device manager, but it's in German. The two tabs that are open are the network interfaces, and the storage controllers.

Thanks for any help in advance,

Don't know if this helps at this point, but the QLE2460 is what's called a HBA (Host Bus Adapter) that connects to storage arrays and provides fibre channel access to them.
This is not the same as a NIC and cannot support an IP protocol.
