[c-nsp] 10GE card for 7609

[Eric Gauthier]

Mark,

I'm not sure if you have other 10g links, but keep in mind that Cisco has 
(at least) two 10g optics - Xenpak and X2 - that are not intercompatible.  
I believe that the 6704-10ge uses Xenpak and the 6708-10gE, which is the
"same" card but with 8 ports, uses X2.  If everything else you do is X2,
it might make sense to jump up to the 8 port card to prevent yourself
from having to buy/spare two types of optics.

Eric :)
