	The KNE100TX is our standard server card, we use many.  I was
upset when the new design started arriving (no notice, no model change),
but they drop right in and have caused no problems.  I have ~ 12 in use
right now, with several in boxes that run traffic 24/7 and 30Mbit +, with
prime usage times hitting 60 - 70 Mbit.  I have only had them online for a
few week, but with no problems, and no problems ever with the older
design.
