I have a small Mellanox SAN for an ESXi lab. I've been running ESXi 5.1 on it, so I decided to experiment with 5.5 and 6.0 to get experience. When I went to the drivers at http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=36 it said:

NOTE: To obtain the driver for ESXi 5.X v1.8.2.4, please contact support@mellanox.com.

So, I contacted support, and got this reply:

According to our records, we could not locate any valid contract for you.

How does one get the drivers legitimately without a support contract for noncommercial purposes?

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is about a licensing problem and requests help obtaining unlicensed software. – elixenide Oct 01 '15 at 01:34
  • I'm not requesting unlicensed software, I'm asking if there is a legitimate means by which the drivers may be obtained so as to preserve my investment in my noncommercial lab. – jwc Oct 01 '15 at 01:36
  • Still completely off-topic here. – elixenide Oct 01 '15 at 01:37

I contacted Mellanox support and told them that I needed the drivers for my lab and noncommercial use. They were kind enough to provide me with a download link.
