I will check later, but I am fairly sure there is a firmware update 
available.  OTOH, the card is physically breaking -- I have to be very 
careful unplugging it to avoid pulling its head off, so I am not really 
interested in investing a lot of time in it.  I have a second card, 
which unfortunately needs the libertas module to run, and that is AFAIK 
not yet available.

The motor car reflects our standard of living and gauges the speed of
our present life. It long ago ran down Simple Living, and never halted
to inquire about the prostrate figure which fell as its victim.
