Known Issues
------------
-1. The device driver normally uses both ports. For using just one port it is
-strongly recommended to set option nr_ports=-1 to enable autodetect mode:
- modprobe ib_ehca nr_ports=-1
-

loading the ehca device driver.
-3. Dynamic memory operations are not supported with ehca
-
-4. Allocating a large number of queue pairs might be time consuming. This will
-be fixed in next OFED release.
+2. Dynamic memory operations are tolerated by ehca, but are prevented by
+the driver while it is loaded.
