[openib-general] How to connect gen2 CM to gen1 IBGD CM?

Sean,
with your patience, the cmpost.c example and the OFED 1.1-rc4 on all
machines I finally got a gen2 connection under SLES10 even with a 32-Bit
executable on a x86_64 machine. Cool!

Now the last part on my journey is standing out.
It's a gen2 client connecting to a gen1 IBGD server.
I have to do this since my gen1 server is running a 2.4 Montavista RT
Linux on a PowerPC that I can't upgrade to gen2. :-(
BTW.: Our application is a high speed film image transfer in the film
postproduction industry leveraging the benefits of the high speed IB
RDMA transport. 

While I have gen1 to gen1 and gen2 to gen2 running the only thing that
is missing is the gen2 connecting to gen1.

Just tried this with my test-executables but I did not get anything to
the gen1 server. The gen1 userspace application does not even receive
the IB_CM_REQ.

So since your cmpost example did help me a lot on gen2 the question is:
Do you have a cmpost for gen1 IBGD I can use to connect from gen2 to
gen1?
Or is there any other trick to play here?

Thanks in advance for your assistance
Thomas
