In many coutries even disassembling the driver in order to write a
completely new one is ont illegal EVEN IF the vendors licence
prohibits disassembling.
There is an avialable Linux driver. It would be enough to disassemble
it, and then write completely new open source drivers. Of course for
it to be legal your drivers must be written from scratch, you can only
look at the disassembly to find out what your driver needs to do. And
that is legal only in some countries.
