Weird board ID

[Justin Clift <justin-oNuxUQfTmABg9hUCZPvPmw@public.gmane.org>]

Hi all,

Just received an old Topspin 2 port PCIe card (MTLP25208-C), using 
firmware 4.6.0 and thought I'd update it to the latest firmware before 
trying to do anything with it.

However, the board id is being reported really strangely:

   $ sudo mstflint -d mthca0 q
   Image type:      Failsafe
   I.S. Version:    1
   Chip Revision:   A0
   Description:     Node             Port1            Port2 
Sys image
   GUIDs:           0005ad00000467fc 0005ad00000467fd 0005ad00000467fe 
0005ad00000467ff
   Board ID:        q��\x03
   VSD:             q��\x03
   PSID:
   $

Does anyone know what that's about?

Was considering the firmware on the board may be stuffed, but it seems 
to be verifying ok:

   $ sudo mstflint -d mthca0 v

   FW image verification succeeded. Image is bootable.

*********************

This is interesting too (hopefully the correct firmware image).  Not 
that it's not extracting a correct firmware version number?

   $ sudo mstflint -d mthca0 -i fw-25208-4_8_200-MHEL-CF128-T.bin -nofs b

       Current FW version on flash:  N/A
       New FW version:               N/A

   Burn process will not be failsafe. No checks will be performed.
   ALL flash, including the Invariant Sector will be overwritten.
   If this process fails, computer may remain in an inoperable state.

    Do you want to continue ? (y/n) [n] : n
