Are you sure that I don't have a configuration problem? Please see my latest post on the other sub-thread. I note that the device does work when I boot WinXP. Doesn't this suggest that the firmware is ok? On the other hand, it says nothing about the Linux driver.
Not at all sure. However 'firmware' is a misleading term; I think it's really microcode that the driver needs to load onto the controller (which the WinXP driver will do). Just found: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/fedora-ppc/2006-March/000804.html -- imalone
