Gianni, Thomas,
thanks for your time.
I mitigated the issue by exchanging the Infiniband card with an older model that still uses the mlx4 driver. Still had
some issued finding the correct module settings for this piece of hardware but finally got it working.
Maybe some time, when I have a spare minute I'll try your proposals.
Have a relaxing weekend,
Uwe

I don't own this hardware too, but was able to compile its kernel modules (.ko) from its source package which is
provided at Mellanox web site.
I used a test PVE (VM) with pve-kernel and pve-headers installed on it. Then I extracted the source package (tar.gz)
on temp location and executed install.pl <http://install.pl> script which took a while to complete.
That produced a couple of kernel modules within
/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/updates/dkms.
I guess that from that point it's just a case of loading appropriate modules
with modprobe command.

I do not have this HW either but from a quick look you need to do two
things:
# apt install pve-headers
(the script assumes that this is linux-headers-*, and thus fails here
already)
Open the "install.pl <http://install.pl>" file in an editor and search for the
"sub uninstall"
There add an early return:
return 0;
immediately after the opening { after that you should be able to build it.
It tries to install it directly with dpkg and that may fail, if so try to
install it manually with `apt install /path/to/package.deb ...other.deb`
you may want to pass all debs from the DEBS sub directories to that one
