The new Nebula card needs kernel patching now that they have changed the chipset (unless the changes are built into 2.6.12, I certainly had to patch 2.6.11). Having said that, I managed to muddle my way through the process and now have the Nebula PCI card working well. It also has an RF passthrough.
