I setup a system earlier today with Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS server. It's still the current rev on Ubuntu's site.

I only have a Mellanox ConnectX-3 card in there for 40Gb, no 1Gb.

When I install I can see the server's onboard 1Gb NICs but NO MELLANOX?

Is this for real? Weren't these popular cards? Certainly more server than workstation right?
