Tadaaa... Very fine box, really very fine. Ok, the official 1.5-kernel doesn't
know about it, but it might be already supported without one of us knowing it.

Please send me the output of the following console commands, then i can try

E/I 3e
E/P 20040004

Maybe my recent KA681 support already includes the most.
