Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately we have only one of the
controllers here now, though we might be getting a few more in January.

Is there some way I could assist you by doing some tests here and
reporting debug messages/logs etc?

I am sure there are many other people out there who would be looking for
a good driver for the intel 31244, so it would be a useful update for
them too.
