Bug Description
It appears that the logic in _detect_hardware in hardware_
- NICs configured in Ethernet mode
- NICs with an IPoIB device associated with them
IPoIB does not load by default on standard IPA ramdisks and so NICs in Infiniband mode do not get detected.
One solution could be to probe the ib_ipoib kernel driver before traversing /sys/class/net. Alternatively, find a different method of detecting IB devices and inspecting their details.
