Hopefully, that would be something like sa/mthca0 so that one does not need to perform tricky string parsing to find the interface for a specific device. Further, won't you want to have this per-port? It's easy to imagine separate ports redirecting to different SA's. -- MST _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
