Now I'm curious: The code which handles all the communications (devices
and back to the OS/kernel) is downloaded *into* the card when it's
initialised? Or did I get something wrong here?

That seems like a quite central part of the card Firmware and I'm
astonished that this is changed regular basis by the OS....
