DMA support doesn't have anything to do with the adapter.  Most CF cards 
do not support DMS themselves, that is why it is disabled by default in 
AstLinux.  I only know of one kind of CF card that supports DMA - the 
high end Sandisk industrial line.  I remember them being something like 
10X the cost of the regular CF cards!
