	"supported" may be a bit too strong :-(

	Yes, the VIA driver is know to be buggy. Outgoing and
Incomming connection exercise slightly different part of the driver,
and it seems that incomming connection is buggy (as you found out).
	Sancho Dauskardt <sd...@bd...> was working on the VIA
driver. I'm expecting a patch from him, maybe you may want to chat
with him and test his patch.

	Good luck...
