ATA over Ethernet 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).

What's New in This Release:
The device list can now be cleaned up by giving the aoe driver a "flush" command.
A bugfix eliminates some "runt packet" error messages.
A greater number of local AoE interfaces is now supported.
Unaligned memory accesses are avoided.
The udev rules were updated for compatibility with current versions of udev.
