I haven't really looked at the git tree since the "big commit" so I wont
comment on the code.

Have you had it working before with an older driver?

Not to stand in the way of progress, bug why the latest version in GIT?
A better starting point would be 6.6.3 that should be compatible with

someone else doesn't do it first) (hospital again).
