Yes you can drop it into the 2.1-RELEASE kernel.

Drop by http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~fgray/if_vx.html and follow the 
instructions and which files to get.

Just wondering.. do you think it's worth keeping the 590 in a medium load 
server?  I'm thinking about swaping mine out before I put this machine 
online because of the little problems people have had with it.
