0000:00:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3 Virtual Function]

I have access to 2 machines and run a guest instance on both machines:
* on one the guest has acccess to a PF, but VF enablement is disallowed
* on the other the hypervisor controls the PF and the guests have only
  access to the VFs - so I cannot say much about the PF here

At least I found out the FW version - it's: 2.33.5100

Sebastian
