This was the important bit of my message: if "fully functional" means "the 
bits I care about worked" then there's just not much point in putting it up 
there.

Oh, so did I. This was one of the few times I've received a new box and 
thought "oh, crap", since I knew it just wasn't going to work, not for the 
purposes I have for it. Well, modulo the amount of effort I wanted to put 
into it. (Gosh, but Scott has an nForce4 board working "just fine", so maybe 
6-CURRENT _is_ the way to go.)
