>   Alex E. will setup IPoIB CM meeting to discuss/explain the CM design
>   and administrative operation, all with an eye towards how best
>   to migrate IPoIB CM to NDIS 6.0.
>   Mellanox desires IPoIB CM (Connected Mode) NDIS 6.0 support in WinOF
> 2.1
>   release [stretch goal].
>   NDIS 6.0 only supported in WLH variants (>= Server 2008).
>   Therefore Server 2003 and XP require a NDIS 5.1 version of IPoIB CM;
> two
>   binaries.
>   Initial thinking is to split off a NDIS 6.0 development tree.

> WinVerbs, rdma_cm status:
>   Sean is testing rdma_cm over the wire; Linux 
> interoperability testing
>   will commence ASAP.

> OFED IB diagnostics:
>   Libibcommon has been dropped on the Linux OFED side, Windows will
> follow.
>   Arlin is tracking OFED diagnostic changes along with pushing Windows
>   libmad changes back to OFED git tree. Current libmad code 
> change push
> back
>   revolves around complib dependencies and GCC vs. MS (WDK) compiler
> differences.
>   GCC is C99 compliant while MS (WDK) Compiler is not, hence code
> differences.
>   OFED tree has new diagnostic library - libdiagnet; windows 
> will adopt.

> WinOF XP support will continue.

> WinOF 2.0 + patches has passed WHQL certification. Alex @
