> 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.

The driver is not present on the install media because we don't have it 
in the the minimal set (see 
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/838c31e91643b6b54bf153641ab6819806482346/components/meta-packages/install-types/includes/minimal). 
It should be easy for you to add the driver to the set, so OpenIndiana 
has it for next release by default.
