Nope, not yet; not around here anyway. I've heard from a few others 
who started messing with it, but AFAIK, no one is actually hacking 
right now.

Well, asm in kernel space is only for CPU specific stuff these days - 
but if you've done asm, chances are you have some experience of 
programming to the metall. :-) (Which is generally not the case with 
C and HLL programmers.)

Do you have the 20 bit version, or a new 24 bit card?

Anyway, getting the full range of cards to work would be interesting, 
but there are so many of them, and each one has it's own firmware. I 
certainly hope we can get away without pages of code per model 
(that's the way it is in the C++ driver), but we'll still need to 
test on each model...
