I have three customers who want to use them.  But I don't have a card, 
and I don't understand device drivers :-(

One customer is using one, and the kernel is not as stable as it might 
have been, but I have a feeling I *might* have the 2.2 and 2.1.7 drivers 
mixed up.  I'm going to grab the latest 2.1.5 driver and rebuild Dale's 
kernel and see how it goes.
