Ah, sorry, I missed that.

Ok, so it seems that this driver does not support the pass-through
option for some reason.

Mario, any ideas what Frédéric can do here to help debug the issue?  He
has some Dell hardware that does not seem to be working properly with
the pass-through option.

I place odds that the driver needs some kind of update for newer device
signatures, which is what some of us worried about a long time ago when
this patch first went in...
