    That card is currently driven by the old closed-source "bnxe" driver.  It's likely your model is just too new for the old driver. There IS more modern open-source code for it, which was under review, but suffering a bit due to the lack of reviewers, and testers.  Can you please utter "prtconf -v | grep pciex14e4" and share with me what you find?  If it matches one of the newer /etc/driver_aliases entries for this WIP, I might be able to help.

    Are you willing to volunteer and test the newer open-source bits of it?  This week is shaping up to be busy for me, but I MAY be able to squeeze in building it and having you try it out.
