note that SEC support using the gamatronic driver has not been verified.
historically, there was an unmaintained 'sec' driver, that was somehow
rewritten to 'gamatronic'.

back in 2005, Julius Malkiewicz posted a patch to resurrect the real 'sec'
driver:
https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=302733&group_id=30602&atid=411544

I asked Julius to create a patch against gamatronic, to merge these 2
drivers:
https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=303719&group_id=30602&atid=411544

from there, IIRC, I asked the gamatronic maintainer to counter check, and
all the thing got staled!

so debug output (/path/to/driver -DDDDD -a ...) is very welcome first.
but some more work and debugging is probably needed.
however, I'm currently focusing on 2.6.4, with tons of things remaining.
so the actual work will be for post 2.6.4, which doesn't prevent from
starting to test ;-)
