Ooops! Apologies, I really should have written 'powerpanel' driver (it
apparently was too late for a coherent answer). The 'nitram' driver was
never really finished by it's author. For the lack of a proper shutdown
function, it should have the 'experimental' flag (I will add that later).

You're providing valuable information here, thanks!

You can do this by starting the driver itself through

	<path>/powerpanel -DDD -a Nitram

The first few seconds are the most interesting for now (so that we can
see if the driver needs to retry the detection).

Never mind those for the moment. Please switch to the 'powerpanel'
driver and check back with us to tell how you get along with that one.
