I think something like this is a good idea. It may be more complicated than a small table, though. Support may also depend on minor versions and on whether you use what's in the FreeBSD base or download drivers from the Mellanox site: http://www.mellanox.com/page/software_overview_ib Installing downloaded drivers doesn't seem to be particularly well documented. I plan to talk to Mellanox support about this once I get a chance to make a serious attempt at it, unless somebody beats me to it.
