Hi All,JC, As I said before in a private mail. I think that the wbeiuu native driver Should be fixed. As you said the platform independent issue is a big Advantage on the kernel driver. Let me know if you need help to fix the code ( I know you need time and I suppose you don't have it). So my vote: no ditch !
