IBM MELLANOX CONNECTX-2 10Gb Question

81Y1541 IBM MELLANOX CONNECTX-2 EN DUAL PORT SFP+ 10GBE PCI-E 2.0 ADAPTER

Wondering if I would have any trouble getting these to work with a mix of Ubuntu 16.04 linux and Windows server 2012 R2 machines.

Should work.. omnios/openindiana/smartos will be a problem with connectx2 EN

I don't know if it was fixed in Ubuntu 16 but you need to type "sudo modprobe mlx4_en" in Ubuntu 14.04.3 to load the ConnectX-2 driver.

Or, to be precise, I needed to before it would recognize the card in my system.

Thanks everyone. Cards ordered. I'll let you know how they work out.
