Hi Peter,

We have some ideas and are working on a patch for you to try.  Since we won't 
really be able to test it can you do that if we get it to you?  Do you know how 
to patch a driver?  Or should we send  you the whole thing (a complete new 
driver like you would get off of our SF site)?

Cheers,
John
