No need to apologize we are all busy!  ;-)

I should clarify that when I say "abandon" OFED I am referring to Open Fabrics "Distribution" not Open Fabrics software.  There is a lot of good work done within Open Fabrics (including kernel back ports) but the "distribution" has caused some issues.  We are working with the various distros to pick up the software which is upstream to help clarify versions and interoperability.

Thanks,
Ira
