Thanks, Amanda. The card's firmware info, according to the IOXperts 
pref pane, is:

PRI 4.4.1, STA 7.28.1

Can I safely assume that the STA number is the one that is relevant 
to this issue? The card's firmware is new ground for me so I 
apologize for acting like a noob with these questions. Based on your 
comments above, I will install the beta driver and provide feedback 
if warranted.

Thanks again and best regards,
Rob
