The 1.6.5 release is undergoing internal testing, and we hope to release
it in the next couple of weeks, but this is subject to successful testing
(or there is no point in doing the testing...).  You can always grab it
from CVS if you are interested to see the current state and give it a spin.

        openiblnd - IbGold 1.8.2,
        o2iblnd   - OFED 1.1 and 1.2.0, 1.2.5
        viblnd    - Voltaire ibhost 3.4.5 and later,

... but I think building against OFED 1.3 is also working.
