Disabling NetworkManager, if you've got a wired connection, is *always* a
Good Idea, IMO. There's *no* reason for it on anything but a mobile
system.

Now - did you say that this was an infiniband connection? We've got one
system like that, and it's ip0. The ifcfg-ib0 we've got is
    DEVICE=ib0
    TYPE=Infiniband
    BOOTPROTO=static
    BROADCAST=192.168.20.255
    IPADDR=192.168.20.1
    NETMASK=255.255.255.0
    NETWORK=192.168.20.0
    ONBOOT=yes
