Susmit,
Intel does a lot of them, and they almost certainly will work with
Fedora/RHEL.
Any Broadcom/Intel (bnx/e1000) cards that have gone through the Red
Hat Hardware Certifications should be a safe bet. (check the product
specs for a card similar to what you want, then go to
hardware.redhat.com to see if that server is certified. If so, there
is a good chance of support.
Alternative, check
bugzilla/git.kernel.org for commits related to the
NIC model#.
