Now that the barrier to entry to changing a design is almost nil, manufacturers love to screw around with designs to save a few bucks. I have seen two identical boxes, labelled as such by the manufacturer, bought in the same time period, but with different guts. Digium would wind up with egg on their faces by certifying a system, then 90 days later after everyone buys it, finds out that some subtle change by the manufacturer has destabilized the config.I agree it is frustrating as hell, but this is the price we pay.Would you rather buy a Mitel for 10X the $$$?

I bought two HP DL380s at the exact same time from CDW. I used the first one to build an image to transfer to the other system. When I booted the second system, kudzu reported different NICs. So, yes, next to impossible to certify any hardware without the hardware manufacturer's help.
