Hello Vladimir,

I downloaded it and tried it on a 2.6.24 kernel (Sles10Sp2b1) and
it compiled fine. I touch tested it and looks okay too. Thanks for
your help.

However, when I tried on a 2.6.16.57-0.9-ppc64 (Sles10sp2b1) after
running ofed_scripts/configure, the make failed as follows:

drivers/infiniband/core/addr.c: In function addr_arp_recv:
drivers/infiniband/core/addr.c:359: error: âstruct sk_buffâ has no member named nh

This seems to be coming from the addr_1_netevents_revert_to_2_6_17.patch
patch, which is completely unrelated to this patch.

Is there a place where the steps in the build process is completely described.
The Wiki at :
https://wiki.openfabrics.org/tiki-index.php?page=HOWTO%20Build%20OFED-1.3
is probably missing a few steps. It would help greatly if you could describe
all the steps. Why is it that we see differing results?
