[Anatoly Greenblatt]

Hi Stan,

The main idea behind the id change was to differentiate between primary
adapter for each port and partitions. It was in netipoib since the
partitions support was added but missed in ipoib-xp32.inf

At the time when installer runs, partitions are not configured.
Therefore it is ok that installer sets up only primary adapters
IBA\IPOIB.

Regards,
Anatoly.

Hello,
  Is changing the device name from IBA\IPOIB --> IBA\IPOIBP necessary?
The installer scripts all use IBA\IPOIB device name.
Why only XP or did I miss similar mods to netipoib.inx?

Thanks,

Stan.
