I'm just going to use my AHA-2940AU instead and throw the AHA-1542CP in the fireplace (to get burned up with the rest of the trash). >>>Booting a 3.3 kernel with VM86 will probably crash as well. >> >> I'm ignorant.

See above. This is more work that I care to undertake right now. I'm just going to file a PR on all of this and then see if any of the kernel hackers give a darn about still supporting the crusty old AHA-154x cards. P.S. Anybody want to buy a video card?
