e5df8c64df6877facc045608a25f4d4fecd5f2b0 Add link_layer field port attribute
38b617f43e1d3097cd38d3979967a5c02cb5ecf0 Update kernel API header to include link_layer
92f8139ba2fe0d44a3364ab0bed0ca1676a5ac6e Add GID change event
577818b50990853bf112ba2a2c336020dd278622 Update examples for IBoE

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 12:52:06 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
