You need to compile and load budget_ci in order for the card to be recognized. Mattia Are you sure this is the solution? I think something changed between 2.6.3 and 2.6.4/5. The latest versions _always_ fail to open the firmware file whereas 2.6.3/2/1/0 load it fine. I've not been able to find any explanation anywhere.
