Gee, thats helpful. I could also switch to hardware whose driver correctly interoperates with my hardware. It would be wonderful if we lived in a perfect world and nobody wrote non-conforming firmware, but that just isn't the case and pretending it is seems foolish. If I do manage to come up with a patch that "fixes" this problem I'll be sure to run it by you but I will commit it. More likely is that I'll just yank the card and not waste any more time. -- | Matthew N.
