I think it was 4.5.3.

What driver error do you get ?

The driver reported something like
"the firmware 4.5.3 is old and that the current rev was
4.6.2"

I have never downgraded the rev. of firmware I have only upgraded, but
I do not see why it would not work to put an old version
into the card. Perhaps the Mellanox guys would know for 
sure.
