I had tried those, to no effect.  When I rebooted, after chkconfig'ing 
openibd on, it didnt come up properly either.  I had to force the issue 
in a special /etc/init.d/ipoib I created to come up after the openibd, 
where I sourced the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ib0 file, and then did 
a simple "ifconfig" of ib0 after it.

This was/is strange.  The work-around is fine for the moment for this 
customer.  I will see if I can dig in and file a better report on what 
happened.
