What PCIe based fibre cards can I use with Ubuntu? I have been trying to find a native fibre card which works with Ubuntu Server but am unable to. I would really appreciate any help you can point me towards if possible.
Thank you

Could you be a little more specific concerning the application? I presume you're trying to attach a SAN. In which case the Emulex or Qlogic HBAs should suit the purpose. I haven't tested these myself on Ubuntu but I do know that they're well supported upstream. – ppetraki Apr 05 '11 at 13:31

What kind of 'fibre card' are you referring to here? A 1000baseF Ethernet adapter or a Fibre Channel storage adapter? – Jeremy Kerr May 14 '11 at 08:39

I don't have any personal experience, but this should get you going in the right direction: Intel Gbit NICs. They are controlled with the e1000e module. It supports the Intel PCIe adapters.
