I use probably the same cards, and they work fine. Just make sure you don't 
remove or re-insert  the cards, ast they will revert their settings :-( 
But that would be a pain on any jumperless card.
What I want is a jumper/jumperless card. That would allow me to do the fault
finding and then permanent after that :-)
