The mstflint package is used to burn new firmware to Mellanox based InfiniBand or 10GigE network adapters. As the Mellanox cards are highly intelligent, the firmware is used to enable various advanced features. Frequently, bugs are fixed via new firmware versions. The ability to update the firmware is consequently very important on Mellanox cards.
