Hi Kyle,
Thanks for replying.
I am not using OpenIB, instead I am using libraries
provided by pathscale.
We only currently have ports to OpenIB userverbs and Mellanox's VAPI
interfaces, I cant speak for the rest of the developers, but I doubt I
will be writing an additional port to the pathscale libraries. However,
if I recall correctly, OpenIB has a pathscale library, actually I know
it does, as I tried to get some pathscale htx nics working yesterday and
couldnt heh.
If you'd like to try the openib port out, that would be very helpful to
the development team in getting feedback on new architectures that we
have yet to test.
Good luck

If you're using OpenIB API I believe Infinipath is supported through
user verbs, though I have yet to test this out. I've also seen this
message when not all of the kernel modules are loaded. Make sure you
have ib_uverbs.ko installed. Hopefully this will clear it up. If
not,
it looks like a config problem.
