Greetings all,
Looking for pair of inexpensive 40GbE NICs for my VMWare home lab (2x servers running 6.5u3). The servers currently have dual-port 10G NICs, and I would like to bump them to 40G. I already have 40G DACs from a previous setup. This will be pure Ethernet - no InfiniBand.
I saw this from a recent thread:
649281-B21 656089-001 661685-001 HPE IB FDR/EN 10/40GB 2P 544QSFP ADAPTER | eBay
With a conversion guide here:

Currently, these cards are $29/ea on eBay, but I don't know anything about them (VMware compatibility, software/firmware versions, etc). Can someone please let me know if they will work w/VMWare once flashed?
Thank you.
