Are there non-trivial interoperability issues between mthca and the

of hardware making use of it.
Hi,
There are no technical reasons except Mellanox hasn't focused on the
mthca driver in this upgrade. With little effort you should be able to
pull libmthca and the mthca driver from the mentioned sources and make
it work.
In that case, could we please bring it back in to svn? It seems silly to
remove a driver just because it's not being actively maintained: that
isn't the bar for keeping drivers in FreeBSD, and I note that mthca is
still present in Linux. If there is some work needed to get the kernel
and userland components to compile again, I'm happy to do it; I just
don't want to have to maintain an out-of-tree HCA driver when there's no
good reason it can't stay in svn.
Sure, but we probably want to put it into sys/dev/mthca instead of
sys/ofed/xxx .
Ok.
Are you saying you want to pull it in yourself and make
it compile?
I don't really *want* to, but I will if you don't. :)
Let me discuss this at Mellanox first. I'll get back to you on Monday on
this topic.
