Could you do an

	lsmod | grep ib_

I assume you did an

	/etc/init.d/openibd restart

If not, now is a good time ... then rerun the lsmod above.

If you don't see ib_ipoib, then you might try this

	ifconfig ib0 up
	
then send the output of

	lsmod | grep ib_
	ifconfig ib0
	
If these still don't work, try

	modprobe ib_ipoib
	ifconfig ib0 up
	ifconfig ib0
