Not sure about your bug but how is that card working out for you as far as internet speed/latency/price? I bought Satellite from wild blue like 6 months ago but its $80 a month for 1.5mbps. Would you recommend that connection for someone who can't get dsl/cable in their area?
 Sorry to veer off topic but its something thats been bugging me a while.
