1gb limit on 6148? it has a classic bus (32gbit) connection. What
problems have you been having with these?

6548 is a CEF256 card.. they have a single 8Gbps fabric and a 32Gbps
shared 'classic' bus connection.

Not what you wanted to hear, but you should have really bought
WS-X6748-GE-TX. 67xx cards have CEF720 fabric connections (2x20G) which
means they operate optimally with SUP720.
