2.2 and later recognizes these cards.

A word of warning:  They have a disghustingly low amount of onboard buffer
space.  YOu'll get an inordinate amount of Ierrs and to a lesser extent
Oerrs, but they don't appear to hurt anything.

I cross-graded to a de0-supported card and I'm having no problems.
