Just to clarify: We're working in this area and we have an internal release
with the needed functionality in the driver.  Due to some legal issues we
are not able to make a release to the public now. I even do not know if we
will be able to do so in the future. As a company we are always a potential
target for legal contentions and have to act very carefully.

If convergence will exist in the near future, we'll try to make a final
examination of what is possible or not and make an announcement.

Hope this information helps for now.

Bye... Szymon.
