I need a 10G network card for my Ubuntu 16.04 machine. I want to know where the list of supported hardware is so I can check before I buy. The card of interest currently is: Myricom 10G-PCIE2-8B2-2S

This older post suggests that it is: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/recommendations-for-a-10gb-network-card-4175471913/ 

The following dual SFP+ adapters all work in Linux:
Broadcom 57810S (bnx2x driver)
Myricom 10G-PCIE2-8B2-2S (myri10ge driver)
Intel 82599, X520-DA2/82599EB, X540-T2 (ixgbe/ixgbevf driver)

The referenced driver exists in Ubuntu 17.10 which you can verify with:

modinfo myri10ge

The required firmware exists in /lib/firmware:

/lib/firmware/myri10ge_eth_big_z8e.dat
/lib/firmware/myri10ge_eth_z8e.dat
/lib/firmware/myri10ge_ethp_big_z8e.dat
/lib/firmware/myri10ge_ethp_z8e.dat
/lib/firmware/myri10ge_rss_eth_big_z8e.dat
/lib/firmware/myri10ge_rss_eth_z8e.dat
/lib/firmware/myri10ge_rss_ethp_big_z8e.dat
/lib/firmware/myri10ge_rss_ethp_z8e.dat
