[Test Case] Attempt to use the netinst installer to install a system over this NIC. [Regression Risk] The fix is just add to add additional kernel modules and firmware to the installer to support this NIC. The biggest risk I see there is that it increases the size of the installer, which could potentially grow to bit for some smaller systems.
