Thanks! You're right about the i2c addresses, but I didn't want to scare away 
people who don't want to mess with the guts of the driver. I felt we could 
sort out the i2c issue later.

However, the more information on a card/frontend we have, the less likely it 
is it will be broken for a bit during the transition....
