[ofw] [ANNOUNCE] WinOF 2.2 RC6 available for download

[Sean Hefty]

Less than 24-hour turn-around time between RC releases doesn't really give
anyone time to test the release.  As far as I know, the bug that Fab provided a
patch for has been in the code since its beginning.

>**** Known Issues ****
>
>HCA drivers are reclassified as BOOT_START drivers to support booting from
>an SRP IOC.  An unfortunate side-effect is when WinOF 2.2 is installed
>on a system for the first time, after installation a mandatory reboot is
>Required by Windows.
>
>After the WinOF.msi file has started installation, an errant
>"Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard" window 'may' popup; XP & Svr 2003.
>
>Just ignore or 'cancel' the errant FNHW popup window in order to proceed with
>the installation. XP requires a cancel, for WLH & WNET, the notifier will
>disappear on their own.
>
>You do need to answer 'Yes' or 'Continue' to popup windows which refer to
>Non-Logo'ed (aka, Non-WHQL'ed) drivers being installed.
>
>If the install appears to hang, look around for popup windows requesting input
>which are covered by other windows.
>Such is the case on Server 2008 initial install - Answer 'yes' to always trust
>the OpenFabrics Alliance as a SW publisher.
>
>
>Please:
>  Read the Release_notes.htm file!
>
>  make 'sure' your HCA firmware is recent:
>      vstat.exe displays HCA firmware version & PSID.
>      flint.exe (found in the Mellanox firmware tools package) displays PSID.
