I haven't gotten back on this - sorry about this.

The other thing that might be going wrong is that CONFIG_PCI_QUIRKS is not
turned on in the OpenWRT build. Perhaps there are some work-arounds for the

build a debian kernel using the OpenWRT .config and seeing if
it works right?

Probably not.

Will get back to this after the XenHackothon.
