What does it mean for OFED to target SC06?

It looks like iWarp support will be in upstream kernels from 2.6.19.  So if you
want iWarp in OFED, a reasonable time to start integrating and testing this
support will be when 2.6.19 reaches an -rc stage, about 1-1.5 month from now,
and a reasonable target for release would be close to 2.6.19 release date, 2-3
months from now.

So I don't think OFED release with iWarp before November '06 is realistic,
but there might be an RC if you want to demo it at SC06.
