    support for IB core, mlx4, mlx5, IPoIB, iSER SRP:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://openfabrics.org/downloads/OFED/ofed-4.8-2-daily/OFED-4.8-2-20171205-1416.tgz">http://openfabrics.org/downloads/OFED/ofed-4.8-2-daily/OFED-4.8-2-20171205-1416.tgz</a><br>
    <br>
    - rdma-core was updated to v16.<br>
    - perftest was updated to 4.1-0.2.g770623f<br>
    <br>
    Known issues:<br>
    - On SLES12 SP3 compilation fails for: qib<br>
    - On RHEL7.4 compilation fails for: bnxt, qede<br>
    - bnxt fails on all OSes except RHEL7.3 and SLES12 SP2/SP3, so, it
    was limited to these OSes only in install.pl<br>
