You made the bug description without telling which version you are using (I assume it is Trusty). Unfortunately I don’t have ConnectX 4 HBAs (only ConnectX 3) and I can’t verify myself which were the commits responsible for supporting it.
AND taking in consideration that we are including ConnectX 4 support only in Wily kernel (4.2+), I think we should consider:
1) Make sure Debian SID version (right now: 4.0.1+1.43.g97d7275-1) works with ConnectX 4 cards.
2) Sync Wily version to Debian.
3) Provide a “backported” PPA for Trusty for those about to use future lts-wily kernel. Remember that hardware enablement (like this case) is NOT to be supposed to be achieved by a “Stable Release Update”… that is why we should have a separated backported version.
I need 2 things from you:
1) What is the right upstream git repo for mstflint ? I’m using "git://git.openfabrics.org/~mohammads/mstflint.git”, is this right ?
2) Can you test Debian SID version and let me know if it is good ? This way I can ask sponsors to sync Wily package with Debian.
Hello Kamal,
Regarding bug:

You made the bug description without telling which version you are using (I assume it is Trusty). Unfortunately I don’t have ConnectX 4 HBAs (only ConnectX 3) and I can’t verify myself which were the commits responsible for supporting it.
Considering following versions:
mstflint 1.4-OFED- 1.4.2-1ubuntu1 trusty- updates/ universe 18.gcdb9f80- 3ubuntu2 vivid-updates/ universe 18.gcdb9f80- 3.1ubuntu1 wily/universe
mstflint 3.7.0+1.
mstflint 3.7.0+1.
