    I've moved this to the alpha list (which is where it really belongs)

      As I said before, the only issue you are going to have is a non
      supported tga driver.

    I assume I can just replace it with another one that is supported
    (recommendations?)

      The nic by the way is a de450 or a de425.

    Good question, I'll check when I get home tonight.
