SUMMARY: No Link Gigaswift in Ultra 10

Despite some documentation that implies that the QGE NICs
are supported in Ultra 10s, Sun Support says they are not.
I need Sun Support for this system, so whether one could
patch or write new drivers that would make them work in
the Ultra 10 is moot. I need to go with a workaround using
QFE NICs in this Ultra 10. No VLANs for me.
