                        Xsigo slated to supply addional VNIC
implementation.


Start using a bug tracker tool (Bugzilla)? who will setup/maintain?
  Tzachi will investigate & report.

Discuss LongHorn Installer problems, see if someone can help.

 1) cluster install - each node wants redundant driver certificate
authorization.
    Same domain or certificate server may eliminate human intervention
for driver
    authorization @ each node popping up; Stan will investigate.

 2) Windows 2008 driver dependencies
        Bus driver has dependency on success of HCA driver installer;
coinstaller can fail.

   	Current attempts @ .inf installation - run executable to install
fabric/bus driver.
        Driver authorization windows pops up elsewhere (remotely)?
	Inf driver install is the preferred approach.
	Stan will investigate with Intel Windows driver experts.

PXE IB boot - Stan will investigate & report.

WinOF 1.1 feature list

  IB Software Development Kit

  ConnectX drivers - possible delay.

  Windows Server 2008 support in WinOF 1.1 appears questionable at this
juncture.

  Windows Server 2008 Build environment
    Likely not going to happen for some number of months due to
differences in
    WS 2003 DDK vs. WS 2008 DDK; 64-bit ptr handling amidst other build
issues.

  Win2k3 & Win2k8 drivers will be signed by OFA (VeriSign Digital ID).

  new VNIC from Xsigo?
