Changes and new features:

—— [Alpha] Support for 200GbE link speed is only added in mandatory mode (not auto-negotiation).
-Added support for link breaking reasoning.
-Added support for the physical layer retransmission (PLR) function of HDR speed.
-Removed PLR from active cables over 30m.
-Added address translation service (ATS) support for MKEY and UMEM.
-Added support for exposing VPD on VF.
-Added support for the hairpin drop counter.
-This is a containerized sandbox for each user to securely access PRM commands by using common object commands, UMEM and UCTX contexts. The allowed functions of this function depend on the user’s authority. The following functions are still managed by the kernel: resource cleanup, UCTX marking, and blocking physical addresses and IRQs from these UCTXs.
-Added support for reporting supported ancillary and non-affiliated asynchronous events to DEVX users through the command interface.
-Added support for creating software management steering tables in eSwitch/FDB.
-This version contains important reliability improvements and security hardening enhancements.

Bug fix:

-When the temperature changes, the HDR link may be interrupted due to a temperature change higher than 6 degrees Celsius.
-Fixed a rare issue that caused the firmware to get stuck in the following message in dmesg during driver restart or driver restart, and under QP timeout pressure (packet loss/network congestion): mlx5_core 0000:a1:00.0 : Firmware over 120000 MS in pre-initialized state, aborted.
-When connecting to an HDR switch at HDR speed, the bandwidth of the MFS1S00-H050E cable is 99G/s, and the bandwidth of the MFS1S00-H100E cable is 67Gb/s.
-In rare cases, when a firmware merge host stuck event occurs, the asynchronous event may be delayed in reporting and will not trigger until the next PCIe hangs on one of the hosts.
-Renamed GMP Mellanox vendor specific external capability mask enumeration from IsDiagnosticCountersSupported to IsDiagnosticDataSupported.

About the network adapter driver:

After connecting, the operating system usually installs a universal driver to help the computer recognize the newly connected device.

However, if you want to take advantage of all the functions available with the network adapter, you must apply the appropriate software. This task also allows the computer to correctly identify all device characteristics, such as manufacturer, chipset, technology, etc.

Updating the adapter’s driver and utility version may improve overall performance and stability, increase transmission speed, fix different compatibility issues and some network-related errors, and bring various other changes.

To install this version, simply obtain the package, unzip it if necessary, run the installer, and follow the instructions displayed on the screen. When you are done, don’t forget to perform a system restart and reconnect the network adapter to ensure that all changes take effect correctly.

Without further ado, if you plan to apply this version, please click the download button and install the package. In addition, please visit our website as often as possible, so as not to miss any new versions.
