[f-nsp] NI-X-OC192x2 Card Unsupported?

[Kevin Hodle]

Hi Guys,

    Just FYI - from another Brocade operator also supporting these POS 
modules, Brocade *does* seem to be releasing some updates to the 5200 IW 
train to fix some nasty bugs that specifically affect the POS modules 
using PPP encapsulation (spontaneous module reloads, LCP dropping but 
traffic counters showing card @ 99% line rate). We are phasing the cards 
out, but I do hope Brocade continues to release 5200 revisions covering 
critical defects.

Cheers!
Kevin
