Nice.  When I last visited the CERCs was around mid last year....
(probably should have mentioned that in my responses).  I doubted
that this would be fixed based on the limited (useful) information
I found on the net about it at the time.

I'll have to go back and try this fix with latest firmware.

I have two of these cards... so having them become useful again 
would be a plus.
