How to switch Datgram/Connected mtu modes?

[Alex Liptsin]

Hi.

Yes. There is no such entry.
The only way I found is to compile inside the kernel " options IPOIB_CM ".
Can I do it manually without compiling the kernel each time I want to switch between the modes?
Maybe add it somehow to sysctl or loader.conf?

Have you tried looking for dev.ib.0 sysctls?  It looks like the OFED bits in FreeBSD map Linux sysfs entries to sysctl nodes, but I don't have a box with IB handy to see what it looks like at runtime.
