Hi folks, I like it a lot to see how development is going on. Merging this driver (or the rewritten replacement) in mainline-kernel is a tough goal, hope you guys get this done! When Eric and me started hacking the legacy driver back in June '06, there was no chance to achieve this goal, since the code quality of the driver was so bad ..
