 +  * Spectrum   (SN2000) Series: ''mlxsw_spectrum-firmware'' 
 +  * Spectrum-2 (SN3000) Series: ''mlxsw_spectrum2-firmware'' 
 +  * Spectrum-3 (SN4000) Series: ''mlxsw_spectrum3-firmware'' 
 +  * Spectrum-4 (SN5000) Series: ''mlxsw_spectrum4-firmware''

 +So for a Mellanox Spectrum SN2100, you would install its firmware package via the following command: 
 +<code>opkg install mlxsw_spectrum-firmware</code> 
 +\\ 
 +Then you can install the drivers: 
 +<code>opkg install kmod-mlxsw-spectrum kmod-mlx_wdt kmod-leds-mlxcpld</code>
