Hi,
 
Until Leonid has a chance to answer here are answers to some of the
questions:

	As previously mentioned, ConnectX will only build in the WDK
build environment.
	That's to say your branch is a WDK build environment only? 
	The Connectx driver is being built using the 6001 DDK. I'm not
sure about the whole branch.
	 
	Which WDK version?
	6001.
	 
	Did you resolve the __ptr64() issues? What was the final
solution? 
	 
	Which openib-windows stack components were __ptr64() repaired?
	Xalex has created a version that solves the __ptr64 issues, and
can be compiled and run using the DDK.
	It has passed many tests, but there is at least one failure.
	After thinking about the problem for some more time, we thought
that it would be more correct to implement another solution.
	The main reason for that is any solution to the problem is very
big and involves changes to all components out there.
	Please see attached mail for more details. (Just to make sure
the mail is talking about the new solution). Any feedback is welcomed.
	 
	What degree of testing has been applied to the ConnectX driver?
	Is IPoIB functional over ConnectX drivers?
	IPOIB WSD opensm and SDP were tested and seems to work.
	The current tests were very limited and there might still be
some bugs.
	We intend to start more intensive tests next week.
	 
	How are the ConnectX and other drivers loaded? DPINST? How?
	Currently manually, Reuven is working on a solution, probably
using DPINST.
	 
	Are ConnectX drivers built within this environment loadable in
Win2K3 or Win2K8/Vista only?
	Theoretically things should work on 2003 and 2008. I believe
that 2008 wasn't still tested deeply.
	 
	thanks,
	 
	stan.

	Hi folks,
	    I've added a branch \ConnectX, presenting the code of the
new driver, which supports Mellanox ConnectX HCAs.
	The driver is in the developing phase yet, but with some work it
can be built, installed and run.
	See more details in readme file in the root of the branch.
	 
	Any questions\comments are welcome. 
	 
	Leonid
