Ammasso 1100 iWarp Card

So, there are drivers for this card now in the 2.6.19 kernel, so I figured I would give this puppy a try...

lspci output:

01:0a.0 Co-processor: Ammasso AMSO 1100 iWARP/RDMA Gigabit Ethernet Coprocessor (rev 01)

dmesg output when trying to load the iw_c2 module:

c2: AMSO1100 Gigabit Ethernet driver v1.1 loaded
PCI: Enabling device 0000:01:0a.0 (0114 -> 0116)
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:0a.0[A] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 19
c2: Downlevel Firmware boot loader [1/7: got 0xff, exp 0x43]. Use the cc_flash utility to update your boot loader
c2: Adapter not claimed
c2: probe of 0000:01:0a.0 failed with error -5

At this time, I think there may be something wrong with the firmware on this card, so I will be looking around for any sort of firmware update software that I can find in order to try and fix it.

The problem turns out to be with the system board I have this plugged into. The system board does not actually support PCI-X, only PCI-64. As such, it doesn't have the speed necessary to deal with the Ammasso cards.
