I am also having new problems configuring SRP with OFED 1.1 rc7, I have
asked Roland to take a look on my test networks.

> I tested the patches, which are included in OFED 1.1 RC7, against
> Silverstorm SRP targets. The patch breaks backward compatibility for
> fabrics that use Silverstorm targets, due to the following:
> 
> It defaults the new parameter "initiator_ext" to 0. Silverstorm SRP
> targets, when configured for working with OFED stacks, are usually set
> to expect an initiator extension of 1, to overcome the earlier
> limitation of OFED stacks setting initiator extension to the port
> number. This implies that a user must, without exception, add
> "initiator_ext=<n>" to the add target echo string.
> 
> It'd be useful if either or both of the following could be done:
> 
> 1. Release note the above requirement of adding the 
> "initiator_ext=<n>"
> string to the add target echo string, for all Silverstorm targets.
> 2. Maintain the earlier default of the initiator extension being equal
> to the port number. 
> 
> I have prepared a patch that does step 2 above, which I'll send in a
> separate e-mail based on the feedback to the above suggestions.
