Plug n Play is not always as good as it is made out to be.
Sometimes it gets confused and you need to do things like add the card,
reboot, add the other card, power off, add third card, take out first
card, power on/off, add first card again, tada ! Then it works.
For awhile anyway.
Plug n Play is a good idea but when it goes wrong it will drive you insane.
This is just a caution. You should be able to get it to work, if not
drop me a line and I'll divulge whatever I can remember.
