Short answer: You need drivers for all peripherals, regardless of connection. They don't magically work because they're connected to a supported port. Some os'es come with a plethora of drivers preinstalled and some distros come with specialized drivers for certain peripherals. If you're lucky, you can find a driver for your 10Gbe pcie card on aarch64 architecture, it'll work.
