You are very welcome. I'm glad to hear that it works for you. That driver missed 
the 2.6.39 merge window due to an ASPM problem that crashed my computer without 
any possibility of seeing what caused the blowup. I was somewhat afraid that 
others would get similar results even though Realsil did not see the problem.
