Will this card (probably) work?

I think I should let Intel speak to this, they do have quad port adapters
in their offerings, and
as far as I know they are fine. I was speaking of times past when the
bridge device would be
the source of problems, and just saying if this was a non-Intel design it
could be an issue, but
since you are being brave don't let me ruin your adventure :)
