Are you sure that I don't have a configuration problem?  Please
see my latest post on the other sub-thread.  I note that the
device does work when I boot WinXP.  Doesn't this suggest that
the firmware is ok?  On the other hand, it says nothing about
the Linux driver.


Not at all sure.  However 'firmware' is a misleading term; I
think it's really microcode that the driver needs to load onto
the controller (which the WinXP driver will do).
