Yes I do actually say in that rather obfuscated sentence above that I
added the USB ID and accepted I was pushing my luck doing so.  But...
the driver took the bold step of calling itself usb8xxx...

One of the other cheapo cards I randomly got was a Libertas 88W8335 PC
Card, I assume I am SOL on that as well.
