"mlx4_ib_ports sysfs not exist,exit!"  Does anyone know the meaning of this print?

“mlx4_ib_ports sysfs not exist,exit!” Does anyone know the meaning of this print?

everytime the card’s driver loads, it creates a whole data structure under the sysfs filesystem.

if the sysfs file system does not exist, it could mean that either you have no card in the system you loaded the driver on, or you have a card but the driver did not load…

that would be my guess…
