Mellanox OFED
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Mellanox OFED drivers do not come from a Git repository, instead we fetch the
tarball from Nvidia and compile the sources its contains against our kernel tree.
Simply use our wrapper script to build all of the driver modules.
.. code-block:: none
./build-mellanox-ofed.sh
...
Below is the list of OFED packages that you have chosen
(some may have been added by the installer due to package dependencies):
ofed-scripts
mlnx-tools
mlnx-ofed-kernel-utils
mlnx-ofed-kernel-modules
...
