Well, sort of.  I've never used a PA-2FE-FX, but we've had lots of fun
with PA-2FE-TX adaptors.  VIP2s crashing when the 2nd port is used, 
and 7206s (NPE400/12.2(18)S) behaving weird and crashing when both ports
are in use ("in use" = "about the amount of traffic that a starting eBGP
session with a full BGP table causes", so not very much of it).

I think it might be something in the hardware revision, as not everybody
sees this problem.  "show diag" for the affected boards says "hardware
revision B0".

Another PA-2FE-TX, with hw rev "C0", works in the same 7206/NPE400 without 
any issues, lots of traffic on both ports.
