Yes, it's problematic - we've had to extend the USB headers so they don't 
collide with the SR9. It's a real PITA. It would be nice (hint, hint) if 
the headers were right-angle so oversized mini-pci cards could fit.

Also, we'venoted that you can't run an SR2 and SR9 at the same time in a 
net4826, probably because of all the current drawn.
