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).

Patrick
