I read in one of the press releases a comment about upgrades to the
standard when it was finalized or something; it may be that the cards
that shipped were not 100% compliant with an emerging standard.
As exciting as the exitance of an existing, working driver is, I am
thinking this sounds less and less hopeful, since the cards are
unavailable now. They were very early and expensive (like most of them at
the time).
I'm going to spend some free time (break andd stuff) pursuing a driver for
the standard cheap Lucent cards.
