The decision was made to move the kernel version to 3.3 rather than 3.2 and thus the next OFED release will be called OFED-3.3 and is scheduled to release at the end of July. woody -Original Message- From: ewg-boun...@lists.openfabrics.org [mailto:ewg-boun...@lists.openfabrics.org] On Behalf Of Nikolova, Tatyana E Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2012 12:09 PM To: ewg@lists.openfabrics.org Subject: Re: [ewg] EWG/OFED meeting agenda for today (May 15, 2012) - Meeting Minutes Will there be OFED-3.2 GA and what is the date for it?

Hi Vlad, The backport patch file for nes driver sent earlier was tested with the OFED-3.2 and we will check it again when OFED-3.3 trees are available. We will resubmit them once tested with OFED-3.3 tree.
