This is the bit that has me wondering.
If it's a standard connexant 878 chip on it (and it appears to be) then there must be some strange 
setup that causes it to lock the PCI bus.. This is the bit I'm wondering about. Why does the windows 
driver not do the same..
Perhaps it's time to get the dissasembler and debugger out again.
