Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about the CI stuff. ;-( > PS. I don't know if this is relevant, but when I received the card it > had messed-up/wrong eeprom data.

Afaics the driver does not require eeprom data, except for the sub-system id. Maybe the new CI is wired in a different way, using different GPIOs, etc. Basically, if it works with Windows, it should be possible to make it work with Linux, too. As always, someone has to fix the driver...
