BIOS boot messages didn't seem to indicate a firmware version, but this card was only available in stock in early March, so its fairly likely to have the latest firmware (2/23/05). > The driver should be solid for _at least_ CARM_MAX_Q==31, presuming that > the firmware doesn't choke.

CARM_MAX_Q = 33 goes bad instantly. > (c) stress the card with fsx, badblocks, iozone, and other tools > on -multiple ports- simultaneously.
