Almost certainly correct.  Probably never will be -- IIRC this SAR was
mainly used in embedded apps.  I don't know if any commercially-available
PCI cards were ever made with it.  I could be wrong though, it's been awhile

Exact same error as the one you spotted in ambassador.c -- make_rate()'s
error is not checked at all.  It should be.
