[Openib-windows] how to install windows openib drivers?

[Jeremy Enos]

Erez-
Looks like I may need a bit more clarification... given:

-bash-3.00# cat /proc/infiniband/core/ca1/info
name:          InfiniHost0
provider:      tavor
node GUID:     0005:ad00:0002:6732
ports:         2
vendor ID:     0x2c9
device ID:     0x6278
HW revision:   0xa0
FW revision:   0x400060000
PCIe width:    x8
-bash-3.00#

Wouldn't that imply that tavor is a PCIe chipset as well?
thx-
