Software Dependencies
To install the driver software, kernel sources must be installed on the
machine. MLNX_EN driver cannot coexist with OFED software on the same
machine. Hence when installing MLNX_EN all OFED packages should be removed
(done by the mlnx_en install script)
#> tar xzvf mlnx_en-1.5.10.tgz file
#> cd mlnx_en-1.5.10
#> ./install.sh
