Matt, ipath_ether uses InfiniBand protocols but is not the same as IPoIB. So it's better to ask [EMAIL PROTECTED] about it. (The reason we ship it at all is that it's faster than IPoIB -- this necessitates a different wire format -- and it behaves more like an ethernet device than IPoIB.) My guess is that you're trying to use it with ib_mad (the in-kernel SMA). Do you see anything in /var/log/messages like "ipath_ether_open timed out waiting for MLID"? The relevant entry in RELEASE-NOTES.txt under the KNOWN LIMITATIONS section is: * IPoIB and ipath_ether do not work together, as ipath_ether requires the InfiniPath SMA, which needs to be disabled to use OpenIB. This will be fixed in a future release. Apologies for this not being more obvious. -- greg _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list openib-general@openib.org http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
