New 671798 001 HP 10GB Mellanox Connectx 2 PCIe 10GbE Ethernet NIC | eBay
I have two of these. Work really well in my Linux boxen.
I've used HP DAC's, Cisco DAC's, and Fiberstore SFP's (flashed for Aruba spec) connected to a Quanta LB4M and an Aruba S2500.
Comes with HP firmware, but can be reflashed to a stock Mellanox firmware. You can also customize the PXE rom onboard. It uses iPXE (open source) by default. Best part (for me) is you can flash it right in Linux.
I have been reading up on their OEM firmware on the Mellanox website. Apparently you can change some of the features by passing an "ini" when you create a custom rom (pxe) paired with their firmware.
If you make an offer, let me know what the seller accepts. I may pick up another one (or two).
