I live in China and recently read about the work being done for the Crystal HD card in XBMC. I decided to purchase a Crystal HD card for installing in my MacMini that I use as my HTPC.
I looked on the Chinese shopping website www.taobao.com and eventually found the card here:
http://s.taobao.com/search?q=BCM970012
I successfully ordered a card (you can see it below) and have installed it in my MacMini but so far have been able to get it working with drivers.
First Question: Can anyone tell me for sure that this is actually the right Crystal HD card? Or have they sent me the wrong thing?
Secondly I had an Apple-certified service center here in Beijing install the card in my MacMini by replacing the wifi card (I was a bit nervous doing it myself!) and have tried installing pretty much all versions of the drivers from here:

However, the card is still not discoverable in the hardware devices, and does not show up in XBMC as an option.
Second Question: Please could someone tell me the steps to get it working?
Last Question: Does anyone know if it is supported in Boxee? (This is my HTPC app of choice)
Many thanks in advance. I will be eternally grateful if someone can help me get this working!
