The following git repository has a vt6655 branch and a vt6656 branch:

  http://www.alittletooquiet.net/media/code/vt665x.git

The vt6655 branch contains pretty much all of the work I'll likely be able to do
for that driver.  The vt6656 branch needs more work.  I've not gone farther than
build-testing either, at this point.

As I've mentioned before, some of this kind of work is really a bit outside my
usual domain, so if you do look at it, I'd appreciate feedback.

Feel free to make requests.

Thanks,
Forest
