Hi Warner !

Yes I did ... but there's always a chance to do it the wrong way ...

Here you'll find what I did:

Here you'll find the results:

If I did something wrong, or you'll like me to do it again, or to show you
some other info, or try a patch or whatever you deem necessary, just let me
know and I'll do it =D

I'm willing to help get this card working as much as I can :)
