If they answer, we will at least know if it is a 14e4:432b. If so, then it certainly will have a PHY rev > 2. At that price, I'm willing to buy it myself, but there should be money available to get things for Rafał. Who has those funds? I think the last time I got something though the donations, it was Stefano, but that was a long time ago. Rafał: If I get a rev > 2 card, you can certainly ssh into my computer for testing, or I can do the runs here and send you the dumps. Larry Larry
