>It does seem to compile and run reasonably well in 32 bit but the version you built is not 64 bit safe. I have cleaned up a number of those issues now and we are regularly committing changes upstream. As soon as I have a reasonably stable 32/64 bit driver running, I will try a backport into 10.4 (whereever it may be at the time). I will definitely keep you on my list of testers.
The hardware that I have is a netbook. It uses an Intel Atom CPU, and although the VT6656 chip is a USB device, it is not removable from the interior of the netbook. I'd imagine that this is not an unusual usage of this chip.
This means that I personally will be unable to test the 64-bit version of the driver on my hardware. I am however keen to help if I can with testing of the 32-bit version.
