Re:  Motorola (1057:5600)
I added 1057:5600 and 11d4:1805 to the amrmo_init.c after the
surprizing success with the
1057:3052.
But both have been tested by others now, and without success.
Possible someone with some C code skills who looked at the Motorola
code for parts different for 1057:5600 and 11d4:1805 could get them to
work, but it is far beyond my knowlege base.

Thanks, Marvin!  I tried the Broadcom and Motorola (1057:5600) devices
because their PCI IDs are in the recognition code in amrmo_init.c.  Is
it possible they once worked?  The Broadcom one gets fairly far along
- driver seems to believe it is a SiL3052 variant and recognizes the
chip version (or thinks it does).
