[ofa-general] ConnectX IB HCA with Ubuntu 8.04

[Steven Truelove]

Hi,

    Thanks, I grabbed the Intrepid package and got things rolling.  My 
ports are now in the INIT state.  I believe I now need to run OpenSM.  
Is there a Ubuntu/Debian package that contains it?  I haven't been able 
to find one.  If not, could you please point me to what I should install 
to move forward?

Thanks,

Steven Truelove
