It may seems a dumb question, but we’re trying to use a connectx-6 VPI card to a 100 Gb/s Ethernet switch under centos 7.7, the adaptor is only seen as an infiniband device, but not an Ethernet one. modprobe mlx4_en does nothing. Tried with centos drivers, OFED drivers, base centos kernel 7.7 , elrepo kernels, even debian distribution.
Tried with mlxconfig to change the port type LINK_TYPE_P1, but it’s not possible with this card. Also flashed last firmware.

We previously used connectX-4 cards without issues, we probably lack experience with these new models…
Is there something obvious I’m missing ?
