The firmware of existing network adapter devices will be updated if the
following two conditions are fulfilled:
The installation script is run in default mode; that is, without the
option ‘--without- fw-update’
The firmware version of the adapter device is older than the firmware
version included with the OFED ISO image
Note: If an adapter’s Flash was originally programmed with an
Expansion ROM image, the automatic firmware update will also burn
an Expansion ROM image.
In case your machine has an unsupported network adapter device, no
firmware update will occur and the error message below will be printed.
