Sorry for the late response. I was away for the last two weeks and
will be away again for the next week.

This driver is independent from mine. It uses an interface provided by
the firmware which is not present on Apple hardware and with which I
am not familiar (also it does networking, not pci with which I am also
not familiar). So I cannot comment on the driver itself. I don't mind
a second driver, if that is what you are asking.
