drivers available<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>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:
<BR><BR>InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT25208 InfiniHost III Ex (Tavor
compatibility mode) (rev a0)<BR><BR>Hopefully someone here is using one of
these with a modern kernel /
distribution...<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Chuck<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
