NIC teaming (embedded + 2nd one)

[ramiathp]

we have ML370 G3 with 1 ported embedded NIC (HP NC7781) and would like to add second NIC (HP NC7170 PCI-X Dual Port 1000T Gigabit Server Adapter) to do teaming. but before that was just wondering about the possibility of using NCU to team all these 3 ports? (1 port from embedded NIC + 2 ports from newly added dual ported NIC).

Thnx in advance

if the embedded is 100mbps and newly added one 1000mbps, will it work?
