that's what i thought initially but since i was hacking the
iwic driver at the time i checked the probe. it won't match
any of the subdevices listed. which actually makes sense
because this is, alledgedly a TA, so i should be able to write
good old AT/ST commands.

i'm suspicious of that however and have a feeling that the TA
bit of this my be implemented in the windows driver (i.e. it's
not a TA - just marketing shit and winbloat) leaving me to add a
further identifier to the iwic driver to match the card and use
i4b stuff as is.

if this really is a TA then i won't have to do that. that's why
i want to get the basic IO working to see if the card will
respond to the AT/ST commands in the expected manner. if it
doesn't then i'll need to go try hack the iwic driver and test
that.

ehm, ok. but that's not what i need to know. no offense.
