Centos 8 stream / Centos 9 stream

[vesa.simola]

Hi,
I tried to figure out if there is a driver and ofed stack available for Centos 8 stream and/or centos 9 stream ( ConnectX-5 and onwards) but came up short. Also, the only thing that caught my eye on this topic on the forums was this posting from a while back already:

Installing OFED on CentOS Stream 8.0

Hey All, So I am having issues getting things installed on my server running a fresh copy of CentOS Stream 8. I am running a Mellanox Technologies MT27800 Family [ConnectX-5] Infiniband controller. Downloading the RHEL8.0 version of 5.2.2.0 results in a distro check failure unless I force it. Taking any suggestions on how to get this built (even via source which seems to have no documentation). ~ Joe G. [root@Moleskine MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.2-2.2.0.0-rhel8.0-x86_64]# ./mlnxofedinstall --distro rh…

Is there by any chance some news concerning this matter?

Thanks for your insight and help!
