Hey that's great - I'm glad our card is working better now.  I am not 
sure if there is a real schedule as to getting it merged upstream as I'm 
not the primary developer of the code, just an early adopter and 
documentor :)

I can say there is a lot of interest, and having more people test (and 
hopefully getting more familiar with the code and submitting patches) 
will help accelerate this process.

cheers,
