Thanks for the info's, Ken. I'm currently trying to build in support 
for the different 90x cards into that driver. I'm at the point, where 
the cards are detected (*_probe seems to work), but something is wrong 
with init/send stuff. While using the correct transceiver, nothing 
comes out, and the send routine times out (now) :-(

It's time to go to sleep...

Cheers, Hans-Peter
