Actually, that leads me to a question: does the vendor of that adaptor say that this is actually safe? Just because something behaves one way most of the time doesn't mean it does it all of the time. So it it really smart to write non-standard-conforming programs unless the vendor stands behind that behavior? -- 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
