That's probably a ConnectX (series 1) Mellanox card.  Those can operate 
in
either Infiniband mode, or Ethernet mode.

Which mode are you wanting it to run in? :)

As a thought, the FreeBSD wiki page has a bit of info:

   https://wiki.freebsd.org/InfiniBand

For that card to be recognised at all, it'll need the mlx4 driver(s) to 
load.

I don't remember the exact one off hand (it's been a while), but some 
searching
online for mlx4 and FreeBSD should turn up the right bits.

Hope that helps. :)

Regards and best wishes,
