[c-nsp] 2811 router doesn't recognize T-1 WICs - solved (sort of)

[Jay Hennigan]

I posted earlier about a brand new 2811 router that wouldn't recognize
a WIC-1DSU-T1-V2 WIC in any slot.  Vendor shipped a replacement WIC with
the same symptoms.  Opened a TAC case, no results so far.  Vendor offered
to ship a replacement chassis, but I wasn't sure that would fix things.

I suggested that the vendor, before shipping a replacement, power one
up with a V2 WIC and see if it was recognized.  The vendor did so and
went through four more brand new V2 WICs before getting one that worked.
The working one was from a different shipment/lot than the bad ones.

That's one out of six good ones.  They shipped it, and it's happy.

But, I suspect some of the V2 WICs are shipping with incompatibilities,
or a whale of a lot of them are just plain NFG*.
