We've had a couple reports of some cards working, but nothing worth declaring success, backporting and trying to call it supported. If a seabios update improves things for you, please report it and maybe there are changes we can backport. Personally I'd prefer to see it working reliably upstream first and incorporate a full solution rather than hearsay that card A worked on system B at least once. Thanks, Alex
