Can you send me the FW version and board type
Since the driver is not loading you can use mstflint to get this data
Please use:

The devices can be accessed by their PCI ID as displayed by lspci
(bus:dev.fn).
Example:
# List all Mellanox devices
> /sbin/lspci -d 15b3:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies Unknown device 6368
(rev a0)

# Use mstflint tool to query the firmware on this device
> mstflint -d 02:00.0 q
