I've not been able to get dhcp to work with ipoib, but I've not tried
that patch.  Has anybody gotten it to work with recent OFED on any IB
HCAs?

It's the same set of rpms for RHEL4 and RHEL5 (identical tarball).  The marketing setup
insists on a per-distro download page, but we don't do independent
builds and testing, just the one RHEL build (which also covers CentOS
and Scientific Linux).
