Not yet.  First thing I did was hook one NIC to the Switch.  Why?  Cause I 
just wanted to SSH into it or something.  See if I can just play with 
it.  I'm on a LAN here, and my g/f would kill me if she has no Internet 
connection.  *Shrugs*  So.......... I must play with the box first, figure 
out how it works.  I don't know if this is even possible yet.  The second 
card, if it IS defective I shall pitch *Like i did a P/S this last 2 weeks*.
