Anyone know off the top of their heads if this (AT-2972SX) fiber network card will work out of the box with CentOS 6.x?
Sounds like it's a Broadcom-based card, so perhaps it will, or maybe something exists for it in elrepo?
Hoping to avoid needing to build custom drivers from source.

Well, at least they have RPM files for you that you can just install. You could always just try and see what happens :) .

Yep -- definitely. We don't have the cards yet and am just trying to determine if they'll work easily or not or if we should push to order something different.
Thanks, Ray

My gut guess is that it's just going to work. Most of the networking stuff most Linux distros have down pat (unless we're talking about something really rare/weird).
I looked at the file itself, the license is GPL.

What's weird is that they packaged the actual binaries as a bunch of small ISOs. At this point I'd probably build them from source if all else fails :) .

To close the loop on this -- the card worked fine with the built-in tg3 driver in RHEL 6.
