All production cards are supported by the driver. I thus do not know how
an unsupported card can be obtained from a reputable dealer. Would it be
possible to obtain images of both sides of this card showing all numbers
clearly? You can send this to me off list and I can see if it is
possible to determine what type of card we are dealing with here.

Thank you
