ESX 4 and Intel 4 port GbE 82576 adapter

Intel has a fairly new adapter out (Intel Gigabit ET Quad Port Server Adapter) that supports the various protocols that are needed for many of us: flow control, jumbo frames, etc... but this newer generation of adapters also has some nice new virtualization features and Netqueue, which allows 8 recieves per port on this chipset. This seems like a pretty nice iSCSI option. The question I have is whether or not NetQueue and Jumbo Frames can be enabled simultaneously in ESX 4.0? The following VMware KB article indicates this is not possible in ESX 3: Click HERE.
