3.2 is fine with me but the openib driver was complaining that i need to upgrade to 3.3 and i believe the driver is not happy about this. I've not used openib before as i'm using the topspin's ib kernel modules. > If you really want to upgrade, then you can bug your HCA vendor for an > update or try downloading firmware from the Mellanox web site and > then preparing your own firmware images. I've seen the firmware on the mellanox web site but the format of the files do seem different than the topspin ones. I've seen on this mailing list that some people have mentioned mellanox tools for converting images but as i'm using topspin, it will be tricky to convert the file in the right format, i believe.
