[ofa-general] IB card manufacturer

All,

Being somewhat cautious I'd like to see if anyone can point me at the correct 
manufacturer info for an Infiniband card that we bought through a cluster vendor
(i.e. it was in the box when we got it). I need to upgrade the firmware to 
attempt to isolate an issue we're seeing with several nodes that have this 
combination:
 
 ==> /sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/board_id <== 
 INT0020000001

 ==> /sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/fw_ver <==
 1.1.0
 
 ==> /sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/hw_rev <==
 a0
 
 ==> /sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/hca_type <==
 MT25204

~$ lspci -vvv
<snip>

07:00.0 InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT25204 [InfiniHost III Lx HCA] (rev 20)
        Subsystem: Mellanox Technologies MT25204 [InfiniHost III Lx HCA]
        Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- 
        Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
        Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes
        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 50
        Region 0: Memory at feb00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
        Region 2: Memory at fd800000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=8M]
        Capabilities: <access denied>

On the card itself it has :

Part Number: D83914 
Serial Number: MEPT702000093
And the card has a tall bracket, but the vendor could have swapped that.

Google has turned up nothing for the Board ID and part number/serial number. 

To me it looks kind of like a Cisco card, so I was thinking it might be a 
Topspin. We bought the cluster in 2007.

Would the right thing be to install the MemFree MHGS18-XT firmware, or try a 
revision of the MHGS18-XTC?

Thanks for the time and thoughts.
