Intel NICs and branded SFP+ modules

According to:

http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/sb/CS-030612.htm

Intel Ethernet SFP+ SR Optics and Intel Ethernet SFP+ LR Optics are the only 10-Gbps optical modules supported. These modules can be purchased separately.
Other brands of SFP+ (10 Gbps) modules are not allowed and cannot be used with these adapters.

And related to that, some models don't even take SFP+ modules, only twinax cables:

Any other NICs brands I need to stay away from? I expect this kind of nonsense from switch vendors, but NICs?
