I just tried the latest Xenial (16.04 LTS) daily build. Still no support for installation using only a Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro in Ethernet mode. On my three test servers I only saw the i350-t2 network controllers (that were not connected).

I popped in the Xenial Desktop and the adapters are detected out of the box. I had been hoping this would change with the latest version.

Yeah -I noticed that too. The installer kernel won't recognize them, but once you are installed Xenial identifies them just fine. Wierd.
