[openfabrics-ewg] Distro requirements for OFED

Tue Jun 6 08:51:06 PDT 2006

Has anyone tried tcpdump with IPoIB on SLES 10 RC?

It does not work with RHEL4
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=180980), and the
bug has been sitting idle for over three months.  It would be great if
this got fixed for RHEL4 U4.
