    This question covers OmniOS and the usual Supermicro hardware base.  I want to add a four-port gigabit ethernet card to a 5017C-LF:

    http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1u/5017/sys-5017c-lf.cfm

    So that's PCI Express x8.

    Most cards for the machine are two-port but this one:

    http://www.iphase.com/products/product.cfm/PCI%20Express/399

    appears to fit the bill.  In particular, it has the Broadcom® BCM5704C chipset which appears on the HCL:

    https://www.illumos.org/hcl/

    but I'm a programmer rather than a sysadmin or hardware person.  Can anyone see any obvious reason for the card not working ?  Thanks in expectation.
