thanks Tziporet.
from ur link , I am looking here
http://www.mellanox.com/support/firmware_table.php

for the exact HCA I have from your list. I don't find the exact match of 
OPN and Card Rev (PSID) and I don't know how to find those.
all I found about that card is this:
[root at alekhine bin]# ./ibstat
CA 'mthca0'
        CA type: MT25208 (MT23108 compat mode)
        Number of ports: 2
        Firmware version: 4.6.0
        Hardware version: a0
        Node GUID: 0x0005ad0000039abc
        System image GUID: 0x0005ad000100d050

Is there another tool which will give me OPN/Card Rev (PSID) so that I 
can match exactly from the table above?

also, another question: is the latest firmware backward compatible with 
the openib stack I am using? (from redhat binary distribtution RH4 
update 3)?

thanks, som.
