   ***** Special Notes *****

      winOFED no longer supports:

           Mellanox Infinihost HCAs, Mellanox Connect-X HCA only.
           Vista & Server 2008 (Longhorn) operating environments; Server 2008 R2/WIndows-7 fully supported.
           Intel ia64 platforms; x64 and x86 only.


3) Bug fixes - all components.


**** Known Issues ****

IB cable disconnect during ND v1 transfer will crash system (winverbs problem).

Disabling the HCA on a system while openSM is running will crash the system (winmad issue).

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 Mellanox HCA firmware is recent:
      vstat.exe displays HCA firmware version & PSID.
      flint.exe (found at the Mellanox website, Windows firmware tools download package)
      displays PSID.

Thank you,

Mellanox and the OFED for Windows developers!
