Hello I am thinking of buying this card to and wanted to know if this NIC is supported. The card is a Sun Microsystems PCI-X Quad-Port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter QGEXPCI 501-6738-10. Can't find any info on how well the card plays with centos and also proxmox ve (if any of you use that distro )
I've not tried that card on anything other than Sun UltraSparc running Solaris 9 and 10, but rumor has it Linux has a 'cassini' driver that supports the Sun GigaSwift NIC on those.
The cassini.ko driver is present in el5 and el6, but Red Hat dropped support from RHEL7. If you want to use it on el7 then elrepo.org has packaged the driver for el7, backported from kernel-3.10.63:
kmod-cassini-1.6-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
At present it's in the testing repo so do let us know if you try it and it works for you.
