Here the promised results: I 'hot-pulled' the T/R card and guess what,
it worked! This is a great improvement and an improvement I've been
waiting for for a long time. Now there is an opportunity to no more
reboots. Normally there is only one reason why I accept a reboot which
is upgrading to a new kernel version.

For a while I thought there was no interest anymore in fixing the T/R
bugs at all but now I'm glad to realize that the driver is really
supported. Thanks much for your good work Burt!
