@patient0 could you confirm it works as expected?

I don't have that card, user @hyyram opened a thread on the forum "Permission denied error when adding packge to ISO" and I tried to help.

I'll drop a comment on that thread to see if he/she could confirm that the driver works and update this task

Addition: I forgot, the thread is closed of course by now. I'll see how I can contact him/her.

@Viacheslav, the thread is closed and I can't find a way to message @hyyram on the forum. Can you or someone with enough rights on the forum, message him/her?

Viacheslav moved this task from Need Triage to Completed on the VyOS Rolling board.

Let's assume it works until we get confirmation that it doesn't.
Thanks!
