QLogic kernel.org driver
 00: Version: Driver 2.0, InfiniPath_QLE7140, InfiniPath1 4.2, PCI 2, SW Compat 
2

I think this is a 2.1 distribution, whereas there's at least 2.2 now
available.

[Actually it wasn't just a kernel update -- the SuSE 9.3 system disk was
removed and replaced by a 10.3 one shortly after I arrived, trashing all
the configuration, so I'm a little at sea, without infiniband
experience.]

I didn't realize that there's a driver significantly different from the
kernel.org one, and haven't had time to read up enough.  I'll give it a
go when we can restart the relevant nodes.

Many thanks for the info.
