Last I heard from them was some time in November the cards in theory would 
be available for sale, but that was not a hard date.  We have about 60 of 
his mini PCI based cards and a half dozen of the regular PCI cards deployed 
and they all work as advertised.

That would be excellent!  I am anxious to try this newer card in 
conjunction with PHK's encrypted file system when 5.2 comes out. Actually, 
the encrypted GEOM BDE would make use of the crypto card right ?
