Not speaking for my employer; that's the marketing department's job.
They asked us to note that Solarflare product names are trademarked.
Dear Ben.
FYI(For Your Information)

Our 40GbE NIC Firmware/Dirver status are here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mellanox ConnectX HCA Ethernet driver v1.5.8.3 (June 2012)
Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3]
Firmware Version: 2.10.800
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
And We were testing 10GbE(Intel) NIC and your 40GbE NIC in our lab
using ethtool with added some debug code.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# ./ethtool-p eth5 (10GbE NIC by Intel)
Settings for eth5:
Supported ports: [ FIBRE ]
Supported link modes: 10000baseT/Full
mask == 5120 <--- ep->support number
# ./ethtool-p eth1 (40GbE NIC by Mellanox)
Settings for eth1:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10000baseT/Full
mask == 4224 <--- ep->support number
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's firmware problem I thinks. But Just Information for you ;-)

I work for Solarflare, not Mellanox... and the patch adding 40G link
modes came from Parav Pandit at Emulex.

It's firmware problem I thinks. But Just Information for you ;-)
Also, the 40G link mode flags were only just defined, so the driver
probably has yet to be updated.
