40G QSFP+ Card Support on Mikrotik ROS x86
Hi All, I'm currently trying to source a dual-port QSFP+ card that is supported on ROS x86 (bare-metal). Are there any cards that people know of that are supported? We are trying to avoid the overhead of virtualisation that comes along with running CHR on a hypervisor. Thanks, Christopher H.

Going by the changelog[0]. Intel NIC's is a good default choice. 7.12 will ship with Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx[1] driver support. [0]: https://mikrotik.com/download/changelogs/stable-release-tree [1]: https://mikrotik.com/download/changelogs/testing-release-tree
