and with whatever's on 00:07.2 (you'd have to do lspci to know what).

I have no idea what the specific socket statuses are, but there weren't any
error messages :-) I'd guess one says it found a card and the other says it
didn't.

_these_ messages refer to the socket (slot). There will be others generated by
actually finding and initializing the card.
