What exactly are you loooking for?

If the only thing is given an ip adreses gate the remote mac (GID) and
the interface to work on, than I guess this can be done.

Thanks

The real problem is that there are not sufficient kernel interfaces to
support the rdma cm pre-2008.  Prasanna was suggesting to establish the
connection from userspace, where there is support, but do everything
else in the kernel.  (If I finally understood it correctly.)

Maybe ipoib can provide the necessary kernel interfaces for rdma-cm
support?
