As I understand it from the guy who did the AS2100 and AS2100A
support for FreeBSD the 2100 and 2100A are quite different in the low
level stuff. So don't assume that if 2100 works 2100A will work as well
(or vice versa of course). I have no 2100A available anymore otherwise
I would have tried 1.6 for you. It was too big, my boss wanted it scrapped

Hth,
