vinodpa,
Is this the card you are referencing?

If so, then YES! There are really just two things to note with add-on cards:
1. Must be FMC compliant (to ensure this, purchase Avnet and/or Xilinx designed and sold FMC add-on cards)
2. Must be LPC (Low Pin Count). There are HPC (High Pin Count) FMC add-on cards as well - these may not work on the Zedboard.
Hope that helps!
Yes, theoretically, the ISMNET FMC module is compatible with ZedBoard. I have not tested this yet with an actual design, but an examination of the schematics of both boards does not indicate any incompatibility issues.
The FMC (FPGA Mezzanene Card) is a ANSI/VITA standard put together by a consortium attended largly by Xilinx engineers.

If a Xilinx and/or Avnet designed card says it is FMC compatible, it will work with any Xilinx development kit that has the same pin-count FMC connector on it.
It is, however, *always* a good idea to review schematics to guarantee Interoperability.
Thank you all.
I have Avnet ISMNET (https://www.em.avnet.com/en-us/design/drc/Pages/ISM-Networking-FMC-Module.aspx )board for my design. I hope that I can live this card for Zynq based design also.
