Not crippled; it's just using cheaper, better, faster ASIC's.

Same performance as a 6348 (which is better than a 6248), so go with the 6148 ;>

I hear that it also prevents Pinnacle COIL ASIC error conditions, and if this
is the case, then I *highly* recommend them over the 6348 or 6248 modules.

There is also the recently released WS-X6148-GE-TX which is way oversubscribed
if you plan on having more than 16 Gbps of one-way (inbound or outbound) traffic
(16+ 10/100/1000 running at near-Gbps speeds).  Support TDR, etc.  I think you
are talking about the WS-X6148-RJ-45, which is a very cheap 10/100-only solution
for the Cat6k.
