This one is my fault; I made the driver a little *too* automatic...it gets the settings out of card's non-volatile memory. Unfortunately, this means that if the user doesn't use the 'soft' settings (but rather configures the hard/ jumpered settings) that the autoconfig code in the driver uses the wrong values (it uses the soft settings). I don't think there is a way around this problem except to remove the feature from the driver. :-( -DG
