Subject: What is OFED? (vs in-kernel drivers)
Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2011 13:24:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D246301.40006@shiftmail.org> (raw)
Excuse the newbie question...
What is the relationship between OFED and in-kernel infiniband drivers?
Is ofed the source of merges? If yes, why is there need for an external
development this time, why are drivers not developed within the kernel
like it is for all other drivers?
Is there more stuff in ofed than there is in the kernel? I see mellanox
docs reporting that in order to flash the firmware of their cards you
need ofed installed...
Do I need to delete in-kernel drivers if I install ofed?
I am on ubuntu + vanilla kernel. What is the suggested approach to
install ofed in ubuntu? I see there are rpms but not debs: should I go
with git?
Thank you
