10Gbit NIC for Slack 14.1 (kernel 3.10)?


Hello!
Need to buy a 6 10 gigabit NIC for slackware64 14.1 ws.
until today i even not know, there is already 10 gbit technology
going to menuconfig to see what is with drivers on that kernel, and see, there are no arrange on categories - a time ago in kernel configuration is be grouped to 10 mbit ethernet, 100 mbit, 1000 mbit.
now all is in one pot. also in a past i very often go with realtek ship based NICs - it work very good, also with linux, and not pricey. but there, i see, faster realtek driver in that kernel is 8169 - gigabit?
be a very pleased for advice on on what brand \ model network cards be looked for get working network without trouble, preferably on stock slack kernel, without recompiling...

ethernet drivers are now arranged by vendor, instead of speed, there are several drivers in 3.12.6 config (never-heard brand like, brocade, chelsio, emulex etc)
