Mellanox has the drivers avialable on their site, but in tgz format. Can we make a driver disk?

Yes, you should be able to make a driver disk.

I'm not sure why this is in 7.0 and 7.3, but not 7.1 and 7.2. We can't recreate installation media for a release though, so a driver disk is the best option.
