Fixes:

- When repeatedly plugging out and plugging in cables to/from a 40GbE switch, the link remains down.
- The link is raised as SDR rather than DDR
- 0.5M, 1M Copper FDR cables (Paralink11, Paralink14) are not supported in back to back connection.
- Changing FDR cables from Fiber to Copper and vice versa might cause link speed degradation from FDR to FDR10 or FDR10 to QDR.
- Changing 40GbE connection from back to back to a switch port and vice versa might cause the link to stay down in the ConnectX®-3 side.
- InfiniBand link vs QDR switch rises as DDR or SDR
- On rare occasions, the QDR link up time between an FDR card and a QDR device was up to 4 minutes
- QDR Link stability between ConnectX®-3 and InfiniScale® IV
- Signal integrity issues in all speeds
- Fixed bad PCI reporting
- Not re-transmitting from the beginning of the message but from PSN NAK.
- R-RoCE ignored SMAC check 2.10.0800 2.11.0500
- FLR to PPF in SRIOV
- FLR in no-driver mode
- Comchannel bug fix

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
