Does it work without the gatos drivers?  There are alot more patches and
fixes in the non-gatos drivers on Woody. When you replace the woody
drivers with gatos you loose all that hard work... 

The price for being able to watch Battlebots and IRC at the same time :)

IIRC, there was someone with the TF card posting here a while back...
maybe a couple of weeks ago... having similar problem. I figured that
the chipset was unsupported, but someone else mentioned that they were
up and running using 4.1.0 and the TF chip. I assume with the original
woody drivers, though:

Good luck...
