[OmniOS-discuss] the right card for a server

[Entfernt]

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

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:

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.
