    I removed the driver, not the card. I didn't want to generate
a "maintenance outtage". My backend is now a production system at
my house. '-)

...yup, someone else clued me in.

A RTFM manual issue of course, but that's the point. Something this
simple shouldn't require the manual. Although it hadn't been that big
of a deal really. That's why I didn't run the problem down or mention
it before.

I think if I forgot our anniversary she would get over it sooner than
some sort of myth outtage. The slightest little hiccup and she's
snickering about it for months.
