We *have* it working on a 7201 running SRE2. Admittedly, 
this is the first time we've tried it. We have a number of 
NPE-G2's that are using proper SFP-GE-* modules.

I'd imagine, though, that for all intents and purposes, the 
7201 and NPE-G2 are not terribly different. Or are they? 
Next time I'm in the office where we have these nodes, I'll 
certainly see about giving them a try.
