That was sooo last year. :)

Ok. 

First make sure the sdp kernel module uses the rdma cma.  Then I'd add 
printk hooks in cma.c, addr.c, and iwcm.c to see what's going on and 
where things are failing.  Also a wire trace is good if we're getting 
that far (like at least doing arp resolution).

I haven't looked at the sdp code at all, so you'll have to do the leg work.

Thanks!

Steve.
