Try the kernel with the changes I just checked in today (should be
available tomorrow with some luck)...  If your sup gets new versions
of via.c, if_ae.c, via.h, and grf.c, then you should be in good shape.

How do you mean, "doesn't work at all?"  It gives you "ae0: device timeout,"
or it seems to just not be there at all?

Yeah...  I think I had to order my copy from Addison-Wesley--either that
one or the "Designing Cards and Drivers, 3rd ed."  Both books have a lot
of information, but they certainly aren't as specific as I'd like about
the things I'd like to know.  :-(  They usually say, "Use the toolbox
routine" or "programmers should not attempt to access the hardware
directly" right about where I want them to give me more detail...  In
the case of slot interrupts, C&D talks about the Slot Manager calls :-(
