Hello, That's a nice initiative. However, it's not the first one, and so far, noone has been able to persuade them into either providing sufficient tech specs to write a driver on our own or giving out source code or a binary to make it work. Anyway, should you get any answer, let me know ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or simply post it on the list here again.
