Have you got the card to work at all ? If so, can you give me some
specific details:

Which kernel did you use: vanilla Linus distribution, Redhat (with alan
cox patches etc), SuSe etc ?

Which compiler did you use ? egcs, gcc 2.96, gcc 3.00 etc [I'm using
redhat and gcc 2.96 has caused problems in the past].

Are you using the i2c stuff that came with the kernel or from the
kfir distribution?

On what hardware (processor and chipset)?
