I need to look at this and figure out where exactly the lines are drawn 
between the nfo and the nge. It seems the nge would handle some of the 
devices that the nfo does, in that the nfo does handle some gige adapters 
with a 10/100 PHY.

My gut tells me that the nge needs to be updated to support the same 
devices as the nfo.

Maybe Masa has an idea about the nfo vs. nge. I know there are devices 
that will load the nge, but the network doesn't seem to function 
correctly, and many of those will be able to use the nfo successfully.

If there are devices that are not supported by the nge that should be, 
RFE/bugs should be filed against it so the support can be added.
