I think there's a little bit of leap of logic there. Everyone agrees that winmodems are bad and yet there's still drivers/char/mwave. This TOE-phobia feels almost as if in the middle of one of those silly IDE vs. SCSI flamewars, someone declared that Linux shouldn't have IDE drivers. > It's going to be difficult to discuss RDMA and iWARP sanely unless you > accept the indisputable fact that we've rejected TOE as a technology > entirely, and it is an example of precedence for disallowing support > for entire classes of hardware. Fine. I don't think I have much more to add to the discussion anyway. The way forward seems to be to merge basic iWARP support that lives in drivers/infiniband, and then you can accept or reject things for better integration, like notifiers for routing changes. - R. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
