AFAIK, these are problems with the power supply for the CI
module. They supposedly draw more power than usual cards. I don't know
if they are actually outside the allowed range according to the CI specs.
Older versions of the KNC card CI interfaces also had problems with
those cards. The symptoms I have are that the card does not react to
setting the configuration register (the one indicated in the CIS) and
thus access to the IO ports does not work.
