I still have the hardware, but it's on a production machine. It is
onboard and I added a separate NIC, so it's unused, but I cannot
really run kernel-level experiments.

However, the machine has KVM, and as soon as KVM supports PCI
passthrough, that might be useful. There are two cards connected to
each other (I expected debugging), and with two KVM instances, this
could be interesting.
