1. I installed OFED 1.2 20070308-0708 (compiled and installed in a RHEL4 
U4 SMP kernel-x86-64 machine).
    I just opted for basic IB drivers and didn't opt for ipoib 
configuration. I still see that module is loaded...is it a bug?
    also, ib_ipath hardware is not present, still the module is 
loaded...is it by OFED requirement or a mistake?

2. How to find out what exactly changed in this build in the core 
components (ib_core, ib_cm, ib_mad, ib_addr, ib_local_sa)?
  OFED_Installation_Guide.txt says see package release notes for more 
details , but there is none for ib_core , ib_cm etc.

thanks, som.
