that's fine with me, except i believe the name was picked for a
reason. it is, after all, the
cirrus logic multi-protocol communications controller
either way, if someone could cons up a driver for this card and make
it attach as a csfour, i think that'd be cool. i tried to get one
started about two years ago, but quickly realized i had no idea what i
was up to, even though i managed to get some docs from the company.
