Maybe because of the holidays this request has lost attention and no kernel module has been build (as far as I know). When can I expect this module in the testing repository? Thanks, Maurits van de Lande Hi Maurits, Thanks for the bump and apologies for us not getting to it sooner. Alan - would you like to pick this up or shall I have a go?
