Hi All,

can you share what kind of old NICs do you use on CentOS 8 (Stream or not , it doesn't matter) without any issues? I was looking at ebay and I found some pretty old Mellanox "ConnectX" or "ConnectX-2" but I seriously doubt they will work on CentOS 8.

Any proposals are also welcome. I don't care of the brand as long as it is PCIe and is supported by the vanilla kernel.

I'm using a number of HP branded MT27520 Family [ConnectX-3 Pro] InfiniBand FDR/Ethernet 10Gb/40Gb 2-port 544+FLR-QSFP Adapters without any issue. Not sure if that is old enough for you.

HTH, Orion
