Firmware
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.
"The firmware for this device is not distributed inside
NVIDIA driver: 0000:01:00.0 (PSID: IBM2150110033)
To obtain firmware for this device, please contact your
HW vendor."
