[c-nsp] PA-2FE-TX using both ports kills module

[Jerry Kersey]

I took the faulty cards out of mine and traded them to Cisco for the 1 port
cards. You are correct in thet it defeats the purpose of the 2 port cards.
My bug case has been opened for about 8 weeks and it is still not corrected
so the only thing I could do was go with the 1 port cards. I use the 2
7206's for my border routers only so I have plenty of slots. 
I did have a 2 port fiber card that did work PA-2FE-FX. If you could use
fiber it should work.

We are also using 2 PA-FE-TX cards, but this defeats the purpose of 
having dual ports :-) . Plus I don't like the idea that I have a couple 
of faulty cards sitting inside my router that is critical to our network.
