Hello Vu,

Thanks for jumping in on this thread. Regarding the ib_srpt driver in
the SCST Subversion repository: while this driver works great with any
mainstream kernel it has been tested with, the combination RHEL 5.3 +
OFED 1.4.1rc3 + ib_srpt from the SCST trunk does not work. Would it be
possible for one of the OFED Q.A. people to have a look at this ?
