I have the new cards, so if you'd like to collaborate, that would be
great. If you want to do the coding, I'll test. If you want to share
documentation, I can try to write the driver... I've done driver work
before, although not quite the same environment.

I'm under a rather hefty time constraint. I was expecting a last shipment
of 905B-txm cards, so I'm really motivated... =)
