yes - it is a read/write driver.
I have meanwhile checked out and tried it successfully. My use case is taking shape files with geodata (road networks, railway, land use etc) and converting them to DXF for a client of mine. I created a set of DXF files from my shapes and checked them in QCAD.
Sadly I only get geometries, no extra attributes ("DXF layer does not support arbitrary field creation."). I can work around this by creating one shape file for every type of feature, but I'll never get something like street names that way.
There will be further work on this provider. If you (or someone else) would have some money for improvements it would help as well.
Is not being able to convert something like a street name a fundamental problem of DXF, or is this something that could be implemented for a client willing to part with some money?
