Hi,

Strictly speaking, mlx5 and mlx5en is not under OFED any more, and the
manual page should be installed by default.

Hi,

Maybe for 10-stable it will be under the OFED option, but not for 11-current.


Hi,

Hmm.. does this have to do with the linuxkpi module?

Yes, the linuxkpi module is now standalone and outside OFED. OFED mostly is related to infiniband support at the moment and only needed for that.


Also, technically mlx5 references files in ofed:

sys/modules/mlx5/Makefile:CFLAGS+= -I${.CURDIR}/../../ofed/include

We use one or two header files from there. No C-files. Does this cause any problems for you?

In 10-stable it will be possibly be different, because the LinuxKPI resides under sys/ofed still.

Whether or not this is a typo is a good question *shrugs*.
I tried building the mlx4/mthca modules on vanilla FreeBSD and ran into some 
minor speed bumps due
to changes in module dependencies and options; options LINUXCOMPAT was one of

This is mostly for historical reasons.
