Hello Everyone,

On our test machines we are using and EOL Myrinet fibercahnnel  card:

01:05.0 Network controller: MYRICOM Inc. Myrinet 2000 Scalable Cluster
Interconnect (rev 03)

The problem is that their open source driver only supports up to 2.6
kernels. And with us running gentoo 3.x kernel headers we are just not
going back to that for reasons known to the list...

Are there:

* any generic drivers we can use?
* Can we hack the driver to run on the servers?

I hope I did not just purchase hardware that our OS does not support.
It's been a while since i've done that....


Your help is greatly appreciated,

Nick.
