Is this a model SMC9332DST or is it a SMC9332BDT (the BDT is the newer revision of the board, I have a test sample on the way and it is unknow if it works correctly)? If you have the SMC9335DST it should work just fine and dandy with 2.1.5, no hacking needed. > I started with a 2.1.5 kernel, which found the card but treated it > as the experimental 21140.
