I would prefer drivers/net/ethernet

This is clearly not a ULP since it doesn't use verbs.


I understand it is not using verbs, but the control path (ib_device client) is using verbs (IB MAD). Our prefernce is to keep it somewhere under drivers/infiniband. Summarizing reasons again here,

- VNIC control driver (ib_device client) is an IB MAD agent.
- It is purly a software construct, encapsualtes ethernet packets in Omni-path packet and depends on hfi1 driver here for HW access.

Doug,
Any comments?
