If you have an operating system different than RHEL or SLES, or you have installed a kernel
that is not supported by default in MLNX_OFED, you can use the mlnx_add_kernel_support.sh
script to build MLNX_OFED for your kernel.
The script will automatically build the matching group RPM packages for your kernel so that
you can still install MLNX_OFED via yum.
Please note that the resulting MLNX_OFED repository will contain unsigned RPMs, therefore,
you should set 'gpgcheck=0' in the repository configuration file.
2.
Install the desired group.
# yum install mlnx-ofed-all
