Sheesh, Cisco just does not have any sense of humor :)

As I explained to Scott (in private email, unfortunately, IIRC), I did 
that so that it would fit in the list alphabetized -- Scott placed it in 
the section with the E's, not the C's.

Furthermore, "Cisco 10G ethernet nic" is a vague description if Cisco 
ever plans to sell another ethernet product.  Will the next one be 
"Cisco 10G Ethernet NIC, the sequel"?  :)

If you insist on such an incredibly boring description, at least put it 
into the section with the 'C' not the 'E'.
