[ofa-general] Cisco Topspin drivers available

[Sufficool, Stanley]

Mellanox site has instructions on identifying the PSID of the card (
http://www.mellanox.com/support/HCA_FW_identification.php ) .
 
Once you get the correct chipset id, you should be able to update from
the Mellanox firmware.

However, your PSID will be reflashed to read as a Mellanox card unless
you use an OEM flash INI file instructions.

	Does anyone here know where I can find up to date drivers for
the Cisco Topspin HCAs?  I tried the Cisco and IBM websites and the
drivers there are are least a year old and do not support any recent
kernels.  We have an IBM QS21 blade running Fedora 7 (or possibly RHEL
5.1 soon) and need a driver for the HCA.  The Cisco release notes say to
build the driver from the source tarball if you have a unsupported OS,
but there do not seem to be any tarballs on the images available for
download.  Even though the HCA apparently uses a Mellanox chip, it is
not supported my the mthca driver.  Here is what lspci says: 
	
	InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT25208 InfiniHost III Ex
(Tavor compatibility mode) (rev a0)
	
	Hopefully someone here is using one of these with a modern
kernel / distribution...
	
	Thanks,
	Chuck
