You need the ib_ipoib module to be able to use ipoib.
Did you put the right option (--with_ipoib_mod or something like this) 
when running ./configure  for ofa_kernel?
Try to run modprobe ib_ipoib.
If it works then, add ipoib to your /etc/infiniband/openib.conf so it'll 
be loaded by openibd.
If it doesn't, so check syslog, dmesg and other logs to see it it was an 
error or simply the file is missing
If it's missing, recompile your ofa_kernel with the ipoib module.
