        To overcome this reload the qedr driver:
        $ rmmod qedr
        $ modprobe qedr
+21. Bug 2639 - ib_isert/ib_srpt report "Unknown symbol" after OFED-4.8-1 installation:
+       ib_srpt and ib_isert kernel modules are not included in OFED-4.8-x. So, after OFED
+       installation the in-box ib_core being replaced by one coming with OFED and,
+       therefore, in-box ib_srpt and ib_isert kernel modules fail to be loaded over
+       OFED's ib_core. If one need to use iSER or SRP target then need to recompile
+       iSERT/SRPT over the OFED.
+22. Bug 2640 - openibd fail to start when system is coming up:
+       The inbox kernel modules being loaded from initrd
+       So, need to rebuild the initrd by:
+       # dracut -f -v
+23. Bug 2641 - IPoIB: Missing first ping after clearing ARP cache:
+       This is a known issue by IPoIB design
