NetEffect Ethernet Cluster Server Adapter Release Notes
- December 2009
+ March 2010
The iw_nes module and libnes user library provide RDMA and L2IF
support for the NetEffect Ethernet Cluster Server Adapters.
+==
+What's New
+==
+OFED 1.5.1 contains several enhancements and bug fixes to iw_nes driver.
+
+* Add support for KR, device id 0x0110.
+* Add new ethtool stats.
+* Fix crash caused by multiple disconnects during Asynchronous Event handling.
+* Fix crash in listener destroy during loopback setup.
+* Clear stall bit before destroying NIC QP.
+* Set assume aligned header bit.
+
Required Setting - RDMA Unify TCP port space
RDMA connections use the same TCP port space as the host stack. To avoid
