It's not an InfiniBand connection per se. It's a Mellanox VPI card, which has IB ports that can be configured to be 10GbE, through an adapter and fiber transciever. I've currently got one of its two ports set up to be 10GbE, and it shows up as eth2. The other port on the card, which is configured as IB, is indeed ib0, but that's not the one causing me problems. I will try to completely disable NetworkManager per the instructions, and see if that works.
