The subject came up at the kernel summit when Jamal Hadi Salim 
reported on the presentations at Netconf, in particular Stephen 
Hemminger's, see http://vger.kernel.org/netconf2005.html).

It was noted that iWARP vendors are working with the OpenIB community 
on a common interface. The consensus was that this is the right 
direction.
