I did type in the tag number and yes its a 200. Something must have
however changed in this hardware. Before ordering it, I did the
necessary diligence and arrived it the decision its supported.
However, on arrival, that is no longer the case, as passing all the
kernel parameters I could think of do not help. I am guessing they
changed the SATA chipset.

Now, would anybody know of a store that carry ethernet NIC based on
Intel based chipset? I looked around and all I could find was D-links.
Or any card in this list?
