I think I may have this resolved through the vendor at this point, but
I am still curious about how to select a firmware from the Mellanox
website and matching that up against Vendor X's HCAs.<br>
thx-<br>

I'm going to be deploying Windows2008 on a cluster of Dell 1955 blades,
each with daughter card form factor IB adapters. I'm told I need to
have an updated firmware for this to work, but I'm having a great deal
of trouble gaining confidence into what firmware to download from the
Mellanox site, and I'm getting somewhat desperate. From the Linux
side, this is all the information I can query about the HCA:<br>

I'm aware that I should probably be going through my vendor to get an
answer here, but circumstances have put the odds against me with that
route. Can anyone tell me the proper updated firmware I should be
downloading? I think "DLGL" is a Cisco rebranded version of some other
firmware, but I don't know which... (or what changes it might have
within it). Cisco's website offers me absolutely zero insight here.<br>
thx-<br>
