Hi, Since this device driver is currently available as third-party open source, I have a couple of questions.
David, I assume you don't intend to sign a Sun Contributor Agreement and contribute this code - but rather, you would like the available published code picked up, tested, etc. and integrated into a consolidation. Is that correct? If my assumptions are correct, question for the request-sponsor alias: would this be better as a new project or part of some existing project in the Device Driver community? Or should an RFE be filed for the new functionality and this be done as a contribution? I'm ok either way - just wondering which is simpler/more efficient since an inbound review will be needed. Thanks.
