Your optimism is entirely misplaced and unrealistic, because I bet we will get no documentation. The nvidia ethernet has been around for 4 years, and we just got an ethernet driver for it. There are developers in our group who have lists and lists of devices that drivers could be written for (either with docs, or with Linux source handy), but noone is putting effort in. And this is devices which thousands and thousands of people have. And now you want to suggest that $3000 devices which noone has are interesting? That they are even in same rough league? Give me a break. OK, I changed my mind. What you and others are saying is not just misplaced and unrealistic optimism -- it is amateurish delusion which makes it clear what exactly the difference is between those who struggle to support things, and those who just talk.
