Be very careful with quad port cards from Sun ... I've heard varying accounts of difficulty with drivers and functionality. I don't have any proof, nor have I worked on Sun quad port NICs, but just know what you're buying and if anyone has had success with any Linux distro and that specific card.
Definitely check the vyatta hardware page, but you still may just want to see if there are Linux drivers for it even if it's not on the vyatta page - that could just mean no one has tested vyatta with that brand. If there's Linux drivers for the NIC, then it's safe bet vyatta should have them and if not you can always download some and patch it up -- very doubtful you'd ever have to do that with Linux nowadays (except for feral wifi chipsets!).
