Anyone have problems with Intel CX4 adapters on Server Core?

One of my iSCSI boxes have a 10Gb card that works fine in Stand and Enterprise, but in Core both ports show up but only one will work, the other will have a yellow triangle saying the device is not working because Windows can't load the driver, yet the other port works great.
I have a case opened with Intel, they sent me a new card as they can't reproduce the problem, but the new card does the exact same thing. Yes the driver is the latest.
I was hoping there might be a bigger 10Gb crowd here, has anyone ran into this?

Try to change the port you're using for the cx4 adapter. Dust and small particles often caused me much problems with my PCI slot stuff

Just incase anyone comes across this in their ventures:
The last things I tried were removing all traces of Intel Drivers. Reinstalled using the Pnp command and then only had 1 port working on the 10Gb card, the onboard Intel Gb's wouldn't work at all.
So I said screw it, and reinstalled core and now all show up
The 10Gb card was in there when I installed Core the first time, not to mention the same media. Whatever, one step closer to being 10Gb without a switch in between. Waiting till after hours to take down my target and bring it back up synced. Yay.

Wow! Outstanding! Great work done! Please keep us updated. Really want to have more 10 GbE feedback. Thank you!
