ConnectX ethernet card: how do I get tghe driver for it.

[Ben RUBSON]

Hi Eugene,

cd /usr/src/sys/modules/mlx4
make
make install
make clean
cd /usr/src/sys/modules/mlxen
make
make install
make clean

Add this to /boot/loader.conf :
mlx4_load="YES"
mlxen_load="YES"

Ben

Skipping all of my unsuccessful tries description, I will simply ask :) - how do I get the driver for it ? seems like the sources are in the /usr/src/sys/ofed/drivers/net/mlx4 subtree, but issuing 'make' there I get a bunch of errors. If this card is supported (not sure it still is) then why isn't the driver available in the generic kernel ?
