<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>We
have developed a driver for Mellanox's HCA device MT23108. In our plans is a to
add support for a second line of devices. This will allow a host having an HCA
to use it for doing remote boot. It is based on Etherboot and we would like to
open the source to the public and we would like it to be part of Etherboot. I
would like to know how to move in this direction.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
