3 Bug Fixes
The following fixes have been made to the QLogic OFED+ Host software package between
versions 6.1.0.0.72 and 7.0.0.0.35.
 Fixed in Release 6.1.0.0.72
 When running bidirectional traffic on a QLogic Host Channel Adapter in unreliable
connection (UC) mode on certain server types, the Ethernet connection does not
drop nor does the adapter exhibit panics.
 In this release (6.1.0), OFED has been updated to OFED 1.5.3 and the ib_send_bw
microbenchmark that comes with OFED 1.5.3 does not need the –a option to run
properly without hanging.
 In this release (6.1.0), VNIC drivers are no longer supported. Therefore all VNIC
known issues are closed.
 In this release (6.1.0), Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 is no longer supported.
Therefore all RHEL4 known issues are closed.
 Fixed in Release 7.0.0.0.35
 unregister_netdevice hangs while restarting VNIC service on the host with a
TrueScale Host Channel Adapter when using a gateway. This is a known issue in the
Linux kernel in all releases prior to 2.6.27. VNIC drivers are no longer supported.
Therefore all VNIC known issues are closed.
 When canceling out of a Host Channel Adapter firmware update, the following
message is no longer shown:
HCA update failed. Return code: 1 at /usr/bin/qlgc_firmware_tool line
264, STDIN line 2.
 When using opensm, the Node Description reported for hosts after they are rebooted
is no longer incorrect.
 The known issue that when a long netperf test is run between hosts using QLE7240
and QLE7280 DDR Host Channel Adapters, the PM is unable to get or set port
counters for these Host Channel Adapters is no longer a supported scenario.
