-qib is the low level driver implementation for all QLogic InfiniPath
-PCI-Express HCAs: gen 1 x8 SDR QLE7140, gen 1 x8 DDR QLE7240,
-gen 1 x16 DDR QLE7280, gen 2 x8 QDR QLE7340 and QLE7342.
+qib is the low level driver implementation for all QLogic TrueScale
+PCI-Express HCAs, including,
 
-The qib driver is new for OFED 1.5.
+  QDR HCAs, all x8 PCIe Gen2:  
+    - QLE7340 (single port) 
+    - QLE7342 (dual port)
+    - QMH7342
+    - QME7342
+    - QME7362
+  DDR HCAs:  
+    - QLE7240 (x8 PCIe Gen1), 
+    - QLE7280 (x16 PCIe Gen1) 
+    
+
+The qib driver has been updated for OFED 1.5.3.
 
 The qib kernel driver obsoletes the ipath kernel driver but is
 compatible with libipathverbs so no new user level components are needed.
