The other big difference when you are trying to debug flaky 
installations is the driver for the T400 reports all the error counts, 
and the driver for the TE410 doesn't. This makes he old cards a *much* 
better choice when you support people remotely. It seems crazy that 
nobody bothers to fix this in the newer drivers.
