Progresses are very slow, unfortunately. Things are not working as I
expected. I'm trying to understand the BSD code to driver the card and it's
not really well documented, and my lack of experience in writing drivers is
not making things easier.

Be patient!

and that the first try at a big new idea is always wrong. Unfortunately,
because these truths don't fit the planning models beloved of management,
they are generally ignored.
