So, it would appear that the modules should load correctly together, and irclogs. ubuntu. com/2013/ 02/05/% 23ubuntu- devel.html# t17:39 ibicluster. uchicago. edu/roll- documentation/ mlnxUserGuides/ Mellanox_ OFED_Linux_ user_manual. pdf
the easiest solution is then to just load both, possibly through a udev
rule. Basically, just if mlx4_core is loaded, load the _en and _ib.
