We're trying to run m0n0wall on a Nexcom Nexgate 1045.

The card that came with it is a Sandisk card.  The card works in other
devices (we can extract the full image to it with no problems).

I prefer experimenting too, but the boss really wants it up :-( :-(

I can try to hunt down some other cards, but please let me know if you
have any other suggestions.
