All this talk how SFP standard makes network equipment medium-agnostic, yet the network interface itself has a notion of supported link modes and it doesn't list the one I planned to use (10000baseLR/Full). Still waiting for cables delivery, so can't test, I don't know what to make of it but this is upsetting.
This is Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro and by that maker's software tools it makes sense that they are part of Nvidia now.

What if we had a #FOSDEM BOF session on assembling an ad-hoc network from optical and/or "very fast" stuff like 10Gbps and above...
