New features include: I haven't reviewed the code and don't have a fxp near, but your patch sounds impressive. I'm sure we'd all be proud of its inclusion in -stable once enough testing has been performed. That being said, I thought I should check on one thing: In your original post, you mentioned that these techniques came from the linux drive for these cards. In the process of writing this patch, did you copy any section of code from the Linux driver? If possible, it would be best to avoid any GPL entanglements.
