Dear all,
I have installed the OFED-1.5.2-rxe on our linux host, which has three
network interfaces, Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit
Ethernet NIC, Mellanox Technologies MT26478 [ConnectX EN 40GigE, PCIe 2.0
5GT/s] and NetEffect NE020 10Gb Accelerated Ethernet Adapter (iWARP RNIC).
The Soft-RoCE can work on the first two cards, but when I applied the
Soft-RoCE to the Neteffect card and use "ibv_devinfo" to view the RDMA
device, I got following errors on some of the hosts in our cluster, and the
whole OFED stack doesnot work.

However, some hosts in our cluster can make Soft-RoCE work on the iWARP RNIC
with the same configuration. The info is as follows,

The two host are identical. The system info is as follows,

So, my question is why is that Soft-RoCE does not work on some of the
NetEffect iWARP RNIC's, but does work on the other NetEffect iWARP RNIC's?
All iWARP RNIC's are on different hosts of the same cluster, and connected
via a Juniper EX 2500 switch.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
