David, I have back port code to 3.14, 3.10 and verified. While on 3.4, this kernel version doesn't work on our latest machine. This is a latest Power Machine. I don't have a spare x86 machine to verify this card. And this card is in US, while I am in China. Is it possible to send out the code without verification? And ask help from others, like Mellanox engineer? Otherwise this would be a little trouble. -- Richard Yang Help you, Help me
