@ Jim Lieb It does seem to compile and run reasonably well in 32 bit but the version you built is not 64 bit safe. I have cleaned up a number of those issues now and we are regularly committing changes upstream. As soon as I have a reasonably stable 32/64 bit driver running, I will try a backport

@gamgee911, Cleaning up the 64 bit issues is a work in progress. No, it won't be available for 9.04 and it is questionable whether it can make it into 9.10. A reasonably working driver is still floating about in the driver staging dir of the linux-next tree and it is not ready for prime time.
