Because firmware puts it byte-swapped in the mailbox. E.g. if you put in there "foo" in the mailbox you get "\0oof". Board ID should be things like "MT_00A0000001", mailbox has things like "0_TM00A00000\0\0\01". -- MST _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
