product cataloge tell what:
"FCA2101 StorageWorks 2 Gb, Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is a single channel, 64-bit/66 MHz PCI-to-Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) with an embedded multi-mode optical interface.
Operating system support for this HBA is Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Windows NT 4.0 (Sp6).
This HBA is qualified for x86 NT platforms configured with the msa1000, ema12000/16000 and enterprise virtual array v2.0 (EVA 2.0) Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS) offerings."

and based on my practics i can said what it's HBA work under W2KSP3 perfectly. I think and under SP4 it's mast work too.

hi,
I an confirm you that the fc2101 is tested with w2k SP4 (server and advanced server)
with MSA1000 storage and Securepath.

You alway have to refer in which environment you are working because several components have to be tested with the SP, not just a driver

Yes, it does work... We are running at least 10 servers w/FCA2101 & win2k sp4...connected to a XP1024 san.

But does it need to update the driver?
