I'll go and polish it up a bit later on today with more build instructions; the instructions only mention how to build some of the userland pieces -- not the kernel pieces, and the wiki page could be reformatted so the instructions are a bit more straightforward. > Should we do add "IB devices working list" on FreeBSD IB > wiki page? > > Some ISPs are trying to use IBs on their servers and they > are going to choose CentOS because of the lack of FreeBSD IB > support.
