+Introduction
+============
+
+libmthca is a userspace driver for Mellanox InfiniBand HCAs. It works
+as a plug-in module for libibverbs that allows programs to use
+Mellanox hardware directly from userspace. See the libibverbs package
+for more information.
+
+Using libmthca
+==============
+
+libmthca will be loaded and used automatically by programs linked with
+libibverbs. The ib_mthca kernel module must be loaded for HCA devices
+to be detected and used.
+
+Supported Hardware
+==================
+
+libmthca currently supports HCAs based on the following Mellanox chips:
+
+ MT23108 InfiniHost (PCI-X)
+ MT25208 InfiniHost III Ex (PCI Express)
+ MT25208 InfiniHost III Lx (PCI Express)
+
+Both non-DDR and DDR HCAs are supported, and the MT25208 is supported
+with both MT23108-compatible and native MemFree firmware.
