A new IOCTL shouldn't require updating the version. A new app that uses the IOCTL with an older kernel would simply get an error when it tried to issue the request. Other combinations of old/new apps/kernel won't see any issues. If you update the version, then you've broken all existing apps, none of which use the new IOCTL. - Sean _______________________________________________ ofw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ofw
