Hi Luk, I am happy to see interest in Soft-iWARP(siw).

It is work in progress, albeit not touched since February or so. I called it version 0.9. In fact there is no real version management behind that. If it gets picked up by distros like Debian I would start with reasonable numbering. Since quite some time I planned to change or extend the user level interface by user mapped send/receive/completion queues. I expect substantial delay savings for small messages. I will do that when I find time (it is all understood and prototyped in another similar project). > * Is there a particular reason why there are no tarballs to distribute > the software (this would also make the versioning easier I guess)? So far I tried to provide a site were interested code reviewers could download siw. I sent the kernel code as patches to linux-rdma and netdev lists, hoping for acceptance for mainline Linux. Tarballs are something which would be provided by a dedicated web site as discussed. > * Should bug reports and feature requests be sent to this email address > or is there a bugtracker? yes. there is no bug tracker (yet).

I know I have to cleanup the installation procedure. Let me look into this within the next days.
