That is correct: you need to run an extra application to have everything 
configured and enabled properly.
Normally, Silicom should be able to provide you with the necessary software 
packages to make this happen.
I suggest you contact them for support since you've purchased the card from 
them.

We purchased it from silicom-usa, this is the part:

model number:  PE3100G2DQIR-qx4 V:1.4

http://www.silicom-usa.com/pr/server-adapters/networking-adapters/100-gigabit-ethernet-networking-server-adapters/pe3100g2dqir_server_adapter/

Do you mean that something more than normal linux and its built-in drivers is 
needed to make this NIC function?

Thanks,
Ben
