[ofa-general] ipoib device not loading?

[Jeremy Enos]

After building and installing the 20081209-0926 daily snapshot on x86_64
Fedora Core 9 (fully updated), I get this error when trying to ifup ib0:
Bringing up interface ib0:  ib_ipoib device ib0 does not seem to be
present, delaying initialization.

I ran the IPoIB configuration and it generated an ifcfg-ib0 file as
expected.  What's missing?

btw- I tried previous releases and none would even build on fc9 until I
got into the 1.4 release candidates..  rc6 built but wouldn't run
opensmd.  The daily build of 12/9 was the first I found that I could
build and run opensmd on, but now I still have this ipoib issue.  I've
included ofed_info output (and other detail) below, including the error
at the end.
thx-

    Jeremy
