airo.ko does not support this Airo device, but with the addition of this
patch it recognizes the device.

I am guessing that the *'s rather than hex characters displayed are
because it is unable to read the key from the card. The card itself
appears to be completely inoperative. It was suggested to me to try
both "open" and "restricted" mode, both seem to not help the situation.

Any suggestions?
