[ofw] RE: IPoIB NDIS 6.0 - what is the proposed svn file structure?

[Tzachi Dar]

The plan is to do what you suggest: NDIS 6.0 will be used for 2008 and

I only think that in order not to confuse things it would be better to
have other names.
(I guess that we can stay with the same names.)

Thanks
Tzachi
