After some googling I found that this card may indeed be a HP OEM
version. HP sells many operating systems and servers. So it may well be
that the card you have was meant for a HP-UX system (just guessing!),
and that it has specific firmware for that OS. Sun for instance sells
the QLA2312 as well, and with their own leadville firmware. A Sun
branded 2312 can never be used as a normal qla2312, and can not be
re-flashed with standard Qlogic firmware. The same may apply to your
QLA2312F.
