Re: [nsp] Is PA-GE supported on 7500 ?

GEIP+ also uses a unique double-wide GigE port adapter, instead of a
standard PA-GE, presumably to obtain access to both PCI busses.

Of course "not working" is relative, route caching for vlan's sucks,
but at least it doesn't block chunks, dropping routes or packets,
the usual CEF diseases.
