Scott, I thought I was clear in the original email, but I see now
that I wasn't.  I haven't tried this card on current owing to the
difficulty of having to potentially downgrade and I was wanting
to find out if migrating this system to current would help.  I'm
mostly satisfied with this solution as long as it doesn't point to
a driver bug.  Of course, in that case I'm happy to take the pain
in the interests of helping getting the driver fixed.
