Yes, that's fine (it's just an artifact of the fact that receive work
request IDs get (1<<31) ORed in).  I should clean up that debug
message though.

The debug messages show IPoIB apparently sending an ARP packet and
seeing it appear on the broadcast group (looped back locally).

Unfortunately not yet.

    Josh> How can I get IPoIB to work?

What subnet manager are you using?  If you mount ipoib_debugfs
somewhere (say /ipoib_debugfs), what do you get from

    cat /ipoib_debugfs/ib0_mcg

Do /sys/class/net/ib0/statistics/rx_packets and/or "tcpdump -i ib0"
show anything on the other nodes when you try to ping or something?

Thanks,
  Roland
