Donald, I tried to use that card to no avail. I hacked around with the tuples, and eventually gave up. I went out and bought Accton card. PAO as you said, does not support this card. I went ahead and sent the card information to the PAO team. But since this is a closeout card, I don't think they will do much with it. (I got mine from Damark for like $30).
