Thanks, I have known about this for a while, and after speaking with the
author, have taken his suggestion to hang off porting this one for a
little bit until they have sorted out a few issues.

I plan to revisit this again over the next couple of weeks as I am
currently on leave, but getting the Linux binary version working on the
AMD64 nForce3 boards should be trivial as it varies very little from the
i386 version, so I would like to get that working first.
