23108 is the dev_id of the first Mellanox HCA chip. The mt23108 driver was developed in ~2003 and is based on Linux gen1 code. It supports only memory-based devices 23108 and 25208. The mthca driver is based on Linux gen2 code. It supports all (PCI-X and PCI_Express) Mellanox HCA devices except the last (ConnectX) one. It supports also the devices in their "livefish" (FW-less) mode, which enables performing various management tasks like burning new FW.
