Well that would be nice :-). I'm not sure if I'm able to do it,
though... I've done some kernel coding back 1997 (custom hardware), but
nothing since (on the kernel, that is). But I would be tempted to try...
Can you estimate how much work it would mean? I probably could learn
something from the existing drivers, I guess...

Windows stuff is out of  bounds, that's why I need the linux driver :-)
(unless I get the driver other way). But I can ask the Nebula people
what they can provide (well, I haven't yet asked them anything today...)

That's good to know. Now I just have to make the decision, either to buy
that one or start the USB fight...
