<br><br>Nothing too complex! I'm just like Ian. Been following development on this card for almost a year now, and I click on every HVR4000 related mail hoping to see ISSUES RESOLVED, especially since the card should now practically work!

<br>><br>> You might want to cc the maintainer if you expect a response. :)<br>><br>> The driver was written during 2006 and for various technical reasons<br>> could not be fully merged into the kernel. This lead to a major
