Can we add a Fixed in field to OFED's Bugzilla. Then when a PR gets fixed we would know what OFED release the fix was added to. Right now there doesn't seem to be a good way to identify the problems that have been corrected in a release without pouring through a ton of emails. This would be

How about something along the lines of a firmware update tool built into OFED that checks the HCA for the proper firmware and gives the user to download the current version. It could automatically pull from Mellanox's site and therefore avoid the licensing issue while still providing a
