[Openib-windows] RE: Installing OpenIB Driver on a Dell 1750

[Napoleon Padmanaban (npadmana)]

Hi Fab, 

Thanks for your quick reply.

I am trying this only on a Tavor. I am having a boot firmware on the HCA
from Topspin (I guessed this could be an issue). What firmware version
works fine? And where to get the firmware, please direct me. 

Thanks,
Napoleon

What HCA are you using?  What firmware version?  The mt23108 driver
currently only supports HCA with memory in Tavor compatibility mode.
Memfree and Arbel native mode are not currently supported.

I updated the FAQ to be clearer (I hope!) about what editions are
supported.
Development is primarily done on Windows 2003 with SP1, focusing, in
order of priority, on x64, x86, and Itanium 2 processor architectures.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
