They have only 1 card that does singlemode, which is a single port to boot and I can't stick 4 of those in my server. My choice was merely the only thing I could find :( I think I'm going to be better off getting some managed media converters and a normal copper gigabit card that is well known and supported. Singlemode cards are hard to find at best and this router will get heavy use I expect. Still waiting for PCI vendor information.
