You're right.  "Status: Not Staged".  Is this what Gary Buhrmaster spoke
of when he said I needed a "hit"?  I also notice on one of the pages I
see "Card OOB Lock: Success" so I presume that's not the problem.  I
also see on one thread reference to a "DAC Init" or possibly a "Grand
Slam Init".  Are those various levels of a "hit"?

I'm also running the 10111025 firmware that came with it.  When I first
powered up it gave a message about loading firmware, so I presumed it
was getting the newest.  I downloaded 20120128 firmware when I began my
installation.  I suppose I can install that and power off the card to
force a reboot, then we'll see.
