We have a new install of CentOS 6.7 with infiniband support installed. We can see the card in hardware and we can see the mlx4 drivers loaded in the kernel but cannot see the card as an ethernet interface, using ifconfig -a. Can you recommend an install procedure to see this as an ethernet interface?

It's not an ethernet interface. I guess you're referring to a TCP/IP interface.

TCP/IP is provided on infiniband by the IPoIB ULP (upper level protocol) and the ib_ipoib kernel module.

ibstat and ibv_devinfo are commands for showing infiniband interfaces.
