=> Downloads > InfiniBand/VPI SW/
If you need to update your card firmware, download the new firmware.
Unzip the downloaded file and run flint/mstflint command:

Check VPI setup – Ethernet / InfiniBand configuration
Loading the Ethernet Driver
By default, the Mellanox OFED stack loads mlx4_en. Run ‘lsmod’ to verify that the module is
listed.
Example:
Host# lsmod | grep mlx4_en
mlx4_en 109708 0
mlx4_core 136804 2 mlx4_en,mlx4_ib
If you don’t see the mlx4_en driver, run:
’ modprobe mlx4_en’
Ethernet Driver Usage and Configuration
To assign an IP address to the interface run:
#> ifconfig eth<n> <ip>
