One LP9002DC-E HBA card has failed, and I have trouble finding an exact replacement. However, I was able to find a supplier for LP9802DC-E. From what I can understand on paper, the only substantial difference is that LP9002DC-E uses 66MHz PCI-X, and LP9802DC-E supports 133MHz PCI-X (but is backwards compatible with 66MHz). So from what I can see now, it should be safe to use LP9802DC-E as a replacement. Can anyone comment on that? Am I missing something?

I would probably search for the card you need on eBay... I mean, we're talking about equipment that can be obtained for $10 today... You may as well replace it with the same thing.
I'm afraid to ask what it's connected to, because 2Gb Fibre-channel and PCI-X are really old technologies and you're probably keeping the server/storage running on life-support...
Best of luck.

I understand that, but shipping takes time, and I can get LP9802DC-E tomorrow. So back to the original question? – user1985553 Dec 02 '14 at 22:00
