Thank you.  I checked that page, but they only list a Mac OS X version
of the driver.  I presume it would still work with Darwin on a PowerPC,
but not on an x86 system.  Is there another version of this driver
somewhere, or am I out of luck?  The system doesn't recognize the card
at all, so I suppose there is simply no support for it yet, unless I
have done something wrong.
