Hmmm, as in "Lynx", the company that's shipping my copyrighted Linux drivers
in their proprietary OS?  (And refusing to follow the GPL by releasing the
OS source code.)  There was even a Lynx salesman giving a presentation at
Goddard that touted how easy it was to port Linux drivers into the OS,
despite that being a license violation.

There are several 6911 card versions.  The version I have works with 0.91x
and 0.91y.  I believe that it works with 0.91g-ppc as well, although I don't
have it here to test.
