Hi All,

pciconf -lv

gives me

Does it mean that my card is unrecognized? It supposed to be 10GB x 2
Infiniband PCI-E HCA 500EX-D Dual-Port Card Mellanox Firmware.
Currently the card doesn't show when doing ifconfig. What should I do
to have the proper device name instead of none1 or for the card to
appear in ifconfig?

That's probably a ConnectX (series 1) Mellanox card.  Those can operate in
either Infiniband mode, or Ethernet mode.

Which mode are you wanting it to run in? :)

As a thought, the FreeBSD wiki page has a bit of info:

  https://wiki.freebsd.org/InfiniBand

For that card to be recognised at all, it'll need the mlx4 driver(s) to load.

I don't remember the exact one off hand (it's been a while), but some searching
online for mlx4 and FreeBSD should turn up the right bits.

Many thanks Justin. This is the first time I am hearing about an Infiniband card operating in Ethernet mode. These cards come with two CX4/SFF 8470 ports. It's not possible to connect standard Ethernet cables that I know of (not even SFP modules). Do you mean that they can operate in Ethernet mode over the CX4 cable?
