Mellanox ConnectX-3 VPI MCX354A-FCBT not showing up in interfaces

[Timonator]

Hi all,

I installed a Mellanox MCX354A-FCBT dual 40Gbit card in my super micro X9. But I am having troubles getting the interface to show up in OPNsense.

I followed:
https://www.routerperformance.net/opnsense/mellanox-connecx-management-in-opnsense/


I followed the instructions and edited /boot/loader.conf.local. After a reboot the card seems to be detected.

Code: [Select]

mlx4_core0: <mlx4_core> mem 0xdfa00000-0xdfafffff,0xde000000-0xde7fffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci2
mlx4_core: Mellanox ConnectX core driver v3.7.1 (November 2021)
mlx4_core: Initializing 0000:02:00.0
From the guide it says, you can already change interfaces, but nothing is detected yet. Therefore I wanted to check the firmware on the cards.
I downloaded the latest firmware tool version, which seems to be 4.29.0-131

I can install everything fine, but when I try to run the following command

Code: [Select]

~/mft-4.29.0-131 # /usr/bin/mst status
I get permission denied, I already tried CHMOD on files inside mft folder and mst, but keep getting permission denied.

If I just run:

Code: [Select]

mst statusI just get:

Code: [Select]

This was running on 22.7, currently I am on 24.7.3
Did anything change in between versions?

Anyone, any idea why the command doesn't work anymore?
