Hi Vlad,

We would like to add the VNIC driver to the OFED build process.

The VNIC driver sources can be pulled from the "vex" branch 
of Roland's git tree:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/roland/infiniband.git vex

The location of VNIC code in the tree is drivers/infiniband/ulp/vnic.

In addition to that, this patch series consists of:

1. Two bug fixes to be applied after pulling in code from the vex branch
   (I had submitted these to Roland but these are not yet applied to vex branch
    and I guess Roland is on vacation currently)

2. The patches to configure, Makefile etc to add the VNIC driver to
   the OFED build process.

This VNIC driver code has been tested with 2.6.19 and 2.6.20-rc1.

I will be submitting the backport patches to the various other distro kernels
that OFED supports over the next few weeks.

Ram
