Maybe it's possible to take those IDs (card=0x82751043 chip=0x878813f6) and temporarily "patch" them into the cmi driver, to try if it then will recognize the device and handle it (maybe with limited functionality)? I know a similar approach has been possible to "magically activate" some incompatible USB hardware... -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
