Yeah. That's what I did with my new machine a year or two ago. Then I
waited about four months for X to catch up. But the machine's primary
use was as an NFS server, and that worked just fine.
When the kernel caught up to my on-board ethernet, suddenly I had no
network connectivity because it had renumbered my eth's. Pulling out
the spare network card did the trick.
