I have a 2950 with two 2.66 GHz woodcrests (4G RAM) and a myrinet 10G card. 
Everything seems to work just fine, mx_dmabench gives 1359 read and 1631 
write to the card. I have also successfully pushed some data to a 2nd machine 
(an older one with some performance problems) over mx (mx_pingpong).

Note however that I've only used mx, not the ethernet driver.

Software used was: Centos-4.3 x86_64 (fully updated as of today), stock 
-34.0.2 smp-kernel and mx-version 1.2.0 (final).
