Mellanox has no driver for cards earlier than ConnectX4 available for FreeBSD 11.x at the moment.



What I have right now is a quick hack to get the 2.1.6 driver for 10.1 to compile and work under 11.0. It needs some polishing, but it does work. I didn't do anything for the InfiniBand side, only the Ethernet/core.



https://github.com/fdimitri/Mellanox-OFED-ConnectX-FreeBSD11



For anyone looking to run these cards under FreeBSD 11.0, this should work at the least in the interim. The only non-functional part under 11.0-release-p1 are the counters available through sysctl (hw.mlxenX.stat) for packet sizes ie in_gt_1548.



Hopefully this is the right place to send this.



Is there a reason the OFED drivers aren't in-tree? They are dual-licensed under GPL and BSD.



Thanks,

Frank DiMitri
