You are absolutely right; the MCA parameter names between the oob and
btl tcp modules were slightly different (btl_tcp_if_[in|ex]clude and
oob_tcp_[in|ex]clude). And the FAQ is wrong -- I just updated it;
sorry about that, and thanks for pointing it out!
I literally just fixed this on the trunk this morning (https://
svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/changeset/14746): both oob and btl tcp
modules now use the form *_if_[in|ex]clude. The old oob_tcp names
still exist as deprecated synonyms in case anyone is still using them.
I don't know if this change will make it over to a future 1.2.x
release or not.

Hi,
For OpenMPI users struggling with cluster/grid setups in combination
with particular networks to use or avoid, it may be useful to know
that the documentation on http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=tcp
regarding the oob module is currently misleading. The options that
actually implement this functionality are "oob_tcp_include" and
"oob_tcp_exclude" (not oob_tcp_if_include and oob_tcp_if_exclude).
The confusion probably arises from the fact that for the btl
layer the "_if" does need to be included.
Cheers,
