Alex,
It would be great if you can get the datasheet (legally). Through other
contacts I'm also trying to obtain it. Basically it is a case of hoping
Conexant will see the light and be willing to release the datasheet
(possibly under an NDA) for the purposes of writing a GPL driver. To be
completely honest, I'm not holding my breath.
We'll see.
Hans
