[Pkg-ofed-devel] OFED on Debian squeeze

[Matthieu Labbé]

Thank you to Ira and Benoit !

I did not mention earlier, but in case it matter the cards I have are
QLogic QME7342, so I understood I need the ib_qib module that is provided
by OFED.

Benoit : After you get OFED 1.5.2 to work on unstable, how much work would
that be to get it to work on squeeze ? And where should I start to do it ?

Thanks,
Matt.
