[asterisk-users] 2 HB8 cards in one server - first one is not recognized, the second is

[Administrator TOOTAI]

Hi list,

I installed 2 HB8 cards each of them with a Quad Bri modules in a HP 360 
G6 running Debian Squeeze. Here is an output of dmesg wafter server has 
booted:

You can see that first cerd failed with error -5 and firmware not loaded 
as the second card is OK.

I thought about motherboard problem, HP already change it.

In the output of lspci -v I see that there is no kernel driver for the 
first card:

0b:08.0 Ethernet controller: Digium, Inc. Hx8 Series 8-port Base Card 
(PCI-Express) (rev 11)
         Subsystem: Digium, Inc. Hx8 Series 8-port Base Card (PCI-Express)

         Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2

         Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2
         Kernel driver in use: wctdm24xxp

before asking RMA for the card, I would like to know what you think 
about this matter.

Thanks for any hint
