This card might be an OEM version; can you check the BIOS/setup utilities/ stickers on the board etc.? The card is probably a 2.x or 3.x firmware model; you can tell the difference by looking for the PROM sockets close to the PCI connector. There should be two sockets; a 2.x card will have one PROM and one empty socket, while a 3.x card will have two PROMs. Once you've worked this out, you should add an entry in the mlx_identifiers array in sys/dev/mlx/mlx_pci.c and try again. Please let me know how you go; if you're not sure about this you can send me one of the cards for a week or two and I'll take care of it for you.
