I thought that might have been the problem, I tried to run the commands
to change it, but all attempts were met with errors saying the option on
the card was not supported.

Chances are that card is in infiniband mode and need a quick swap to ethernet
mode with their utilities. For cheap simple windows I would say grab an x710
intel based card, pretty cheap now a days.

Subject: [AFMUG] 10 Gig PC Adapters
I'm looking to change the 10G adapter in my Windows11 PC. I have a Qlogic
BCM57810 now, but I think that it's causing my PC to randomly crash. I picked
up a Mellanox ConnectX-4 LX, and windows recognized it, and both windows and
the Fiber switch show the interface up at 10G, but it refuses to get a DHCP
Lease. I even tried booting into Linux with the same result.
I don't have to use fiber SFP, but I have a lot of Fiber SFP's laying around.
Are there other workstation 10G cards I can try with windows drivers?
