I think that the 2 cards are not the same, and the gold one won't work with
the current developed driver. The author will have to build a specific
driver, or someone could maybe come up with a patch.

IIRC, the gold card has better encryption than the silver one.

cargo cult programming n.: A style of (incompetent) programming dominated by
ritual inclusion of code or program structures that serve no real purpose. A
cargo cult programmer will usually explain the extra code as a way of
working around some bug encountered in the past, but usually neither the bug
nor the reason the code apparently avoided the bug was ever fully understood
(compare shotgun debugging, voodoo programming).
