Great! I will give it a try sometime next week. For the record I could find an older version of Ubuntu 14.4 with a 3.13 kernel and could follow the instruction almost (but only almost :-() all the way. The make and make install seems to work but there are error messages when I try to contact the card. I will try again with your updated modules. I am installing this card on a MAC PRO (mid-2010) running Linux so it may or may not be working. I am here to learn though.
Please allow me to ask a very basic Newbie question: Do I need to have the card in the machine while building the framework?, I have installed it only after I had done all the work.
