Answering my own post but I do it because others may run into the same issue. First I do not yet have a "Debian" solution. I was however able to cobble together a script using webmin that loades the module driver and start-up along with defaout-Stop for the card. If anyone else has this, issue mail me and I will help. If anyone i.e. developers come up with a "Debianized" version, I would appreciate a heads up. Thanks frosty
