 I ran all 3 steps in the QUICKSTART file. I attempted to attach them to
my email, but launchpad didn't like that, perhaps because the delooped
bzipped logfile is 13MB. (It's like 500 MB expanded) So I've put them up
here:

http://testing.pyen.com/~ajani/nvidia/8510w-logfile-deloopd.bz2
http://testing.pyen.com/~ajani/nvidia/8510w-io-logfile.bz2
http://testing.pyen.com/~ajani/nvidia/8510w.rom

Hope that does end up being useful.
