Good - the change worked and your card load correctly.

No that's not a problem.

I don't know what the encoding means though:

Obviously the "ab 12 18 07" at offset 01 is just a copy of PCI Subsystem
Vendor ID and Product ID for the MPC718 (12ab:0718).

There's a minor difference for the two cards EEPROMs at offset
0x14-0x15, which may be either part of a revision or serial number.

As more users with these boards report what they have, maybe I can
figure out what some of the other bytes mean.


> I think this is what you needed?

Yup.  I'm going to push a cleaned up set of changes for the cx18 driver
to dump out the eeprom for MPC718 boards.


Thanks for all the desoldering, photos, and testing.  DVB-T for this
board wouldn't have been working without your efforts.

Regards,
Andy
