Yes, iSER will depend on ISCSI_ISER, as well as on IB core (currently kDAPL).
ISCSI_ISER is the parallel of ISCSI_TCP, and it depends on SCSI and SCSI_ISCSI_ATTRS.
The ISCSI_ISER is submitted through open-iscsi. It is also possible to merge ISCSI_ISER and ISER
and then it will depend directly on SCSI and the rest.
