I'll see if LANCP can help.  I would rather not remove the cards; 
unfortunately SHOW DEVICE doesn't provide many details.  Hopefully 
trying to change the mode in LANCP won't do anything strange like cause 
the cluster to hang or crash (SCS is over the LAN).  I have an 
unmanaged 10/100/1000 switch.
