Ahh, i was misunderstanding. I was under the impression that i could just
put an extra 2 ethernet ports into my computer, install the kernel drivers
and libraries (when they're available) and have an operational Ravenna
input/output. However, if it needs a wordclock then it obviously needs a
card. I had thought that the 'wordclock' was part of the data packet.
