I'm going to guess that the issue is that this is probably an MLAN device. The MLAN spec comes under NDA from Yamaha. I have a copy at work. The problem is how do we get a driver to support it? I talked to my lawyer a while back about this. His opinion was that it is probably possible to develop an open source driver under NDA. My company, however, is not in this business and really doesn't have any reason to undertake doing that. Assuming this train of thought is correct, I don't really know how to proceed? Some driver developer could get under NDA with Yamaha directly, or work with a company like M-Audio under NDA on the MLAN part of it, and then possibly release a driver. If the device was purely a 61883 device it might be a bit easier. There are some 'early' Linux 61883 drivers out there.
