Thanks, I came to the same conclusion as I have the same machine at home
and since I just wanted to wait, until the problem is fixed I use a
(xl?) as well and it works fine without problem. Just recompiled the
kernel with a (rl?) and see what happen as I think it will run fine.

The machine wouldn't use any Gigabyte line and so it is mute to have the
card. Probably by the time it is ready I will use it, but it is a
production machine and so need to be stable.

eww
