If someone wants to do this, it might be worthwhile to do it properly, ie. let someone else look at the existing closed source driver, and document their findings. Then work from only these findings. This would allow the driver to not be derivative work and to let it be released under a GPL license. -- Torgeir Veimo <torgeir@xxxxxxxxx>
