Feeling dumb for asking, but where would I get the WinOF install
package?  I can't find any mention of it in SVN or the Wiki.
thx-

	Offline, I was just making a similar point.  I didn't mention
it, but I was doing this upgrade interactively (and of course expected
everything to just work).   I was only doing this upgrade interactively
because I haven't built my cluster yet from this 'golden client'.
Future upgrades will need to be non-interactive, which really needs to
be an option for any installer utility as well.  Particularly with
respect to the nature of IB users...  I estimate convenient,
non-interactive needs to be very typical.  I look forward to the day
that there is a reliable installer/updater with both interactive and
non-interactive modes made available.

		I think I may have cured this on my own... checked the
driver version 
		for the Infiniband Fabric device, and it did not get
updated with the 
		HCA (was still at 432, which apparently worked fine w/
HCA driver 
		version 459).  Once I forced the Infiniband Fabric
device to update to 
		.614, the IPoIB devices appeared.

fw offered by my

fw version and same

with driver version
			    

		614.
		  

			So what should I do next to solve this issue?
