Very nice! I actually started to look into this a bit but it's probably
better if someone does the port who knows what he's doing ;)

I'd be happy to test a patch as soon as it's ready (i.e. it compiles).
Do you already have an svn snapshot I could try maybe? Oh, btw, is there
a public svn repository somewhere? I only found tarballs of the code so far...

What kernel version are you targetting the driver at? We're currently
using the 2.6.26 kernel (Debian unstable), but I guess porting to/from
other versions should be doable for me, if needed.


Uwe.
