Hello, need to bring some old ConnectX (Version1?) back to life.

Has someone information about the latest working linux kernel / MLN_OFED stack?

I tried with no success on Ubuntu 20.04:

with kernels: 5.8.0-43 / 4.14.0-20

  • MLNX_OFED_LINUX-4.6-1.0.1.1-ubuntu18.04-x86_64
  • MLNX_OFED_LINUX-4.9-3.1.5.0-ubuntu20.04-x86_64
  • MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.3-1.0.0.1-ubuntu20.04-x86_64

Best

Hello Mike,

Thank you for posting your inquiry on the NVIDIA Networking Community.

The ConnectX adapters is EOL and EOS for a while now. The MLNX_OFED version you are mentioning, unfortunately do not provide support the adapter anymore.

Recommendation is to upgrade to a more recent ConnectX family adapter, for example ConnectX-4/5/6.

Thank you and regards,

Hello Martijn,

thanks for the quick response.

Which Ubuntu / Debian / Kernel is the last working one?

So the ConnectX 2 was announced 2009 so I assume its something around Ubuntu 8.4 ?
