thanks - I knew, I missed something, when I tried to query the installed PCI devices.
Firts off, I'll have to correct myself. The NIC installed is actually an Intel 710 one, as prtconf -pv has revealed:

            Node 0x0000b2
                acpi-namespace:  '\_SB_.PCI1.QR1A.D084'

                compatible: 'pciex8086,1572.15d9.87e.2' + 'pciex8086,1572.15d9.87e' + 'pciex8086,1572.2' + 'pciex8086,1572' + 'pciexclass,020000' + 'pciexclass,0200' + 'pci8086,1572.15d9.87e.2' + 'pci8086,1572.15d9.87e' + 'pci15d9,87e' + 'pci8086,1572.2' + 'pci8086,1572' + 'pciclass,020000' + 'pciclass,0200'

                name:  'pci15d9,87e'

8086:1572, that resolves to an Intel x710, actually the card I ordered. This card needs the i40e driver, which hadn't been installed and I wonder why that was. After installing the i40e driver manually, the card got initialized.


Thank you,
Stephan
