can you send me the files?
also, can you make a very small man page that gives the cards
that may be supported, and how to identify such cards..

the cards you sent me have chips identified as:
BC001
0041afa3K1
with a logo of "(circle)+ US"
there is no other identifying information on them so it would be good to
have a document of how to identify cards that may be supported by this
driver.

I just checked in a "KNF'd" version of the 4.x drivers as well.
(I may have a few small bits to clean up I just noticed...)
