<body>
<p>The Mellanox &os; team is proud to announce support for the
ConnectX-4 series of network cards in &os; 11-current and &os;
10-stable. These devices deliver top performance, with up to
100GBit/s of raw transfer capacity, and support both Ethernet and
Infiniband. Currently, the Ethernet driver is ready for use and
the Infiniband support for ConnectX-4 is making good progress. We
hope that it will be complete before &os; 11.0 is released. For
more technical information, refer to the <tt>mlx5en(4)</tt> manual
page in 11-current. The new driver for ConnectX-4 cards is called
<tt>mlx5</tt> and is put under <tt>/sys/dev</tt> and not under
<tt>/sys/ofed</tt> as was done for the previous
<tt>mlx4</tt> driver. The <tt>mlx5en(4)</tt> kernel module is
compiled by default in GENERIC kernels.</p>
