I've heard that, too (was on holiday when the sales-guy was here)

The quickspecs make no mention of it:

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14212_na/14212_na.html


Only that 331FLR adapter, with contains that beloved BCM-chip.

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14214_div/14214_div.HTML

Or one of the 10G adapters.
But 10G is probably worse - and we don't have any 10G switch-ports
anyway....

With the infiniband-stuff, they are probably waiting for the first
customer to order a couple of thousand so they can do a profitable
one-off production run...
