Wed Sep 27 07:42:41 PDT 2006

Michael,

Frank new version was tested once more in Voltaire and is working o.k. .
I tested  `./mstflint -d <lspci output> q`  when drivers are loaded and
when drivers are not loaded. in all cases it worked o.k.

Test was ferformed on the following environments :

-    IBM js21 ppc64 sles10 PCI-E
-    IBM js21 ppc64 sles9 sp3 PCI-E
-    IBM hs21 em64t redhat as 4 u3 PCI-E
-    IBM hs21 em64t sles 9 sp3 PCI-E
-    x86_64 sles10  PCI-E
-    MAC ppc64 sles10 PCI-X
-    MAC ppc64 sles10 PCI-E

Please consider inserting the patch to OFED .

Moshe

			Moshe:

			This version should take care of the ppc64 and
x86_64 not working without mthca driver problem. I have tried on my JS21
and PowerMAC G5 with PCIe HCAs and a x86_64 blade with PCI-X HCA. My
change rewrites the mopen() function. Even though the change is not
really big, it makes the OpenFabrics mantainer Michael unconfortable ti
integrate my change into OFED. I have make it easy to disable my changes
on machines we don't test in this version. Hopefully Michael would pick
the change up this time. The attached patch is made against the mstflint
in OFED-1.1r6. I also attached the tar-gz in case you don't like to use
patch. Please try it on the x86_64 machines failed previously. Thanks.
