I know Les ...he has a bunch of coding chops under his belt and he's a helluva decent human being. The point is that it needn't be anathema if the only way to get a device working correctly is to use a driver from the manufacturer. Sure, pang on them until the cows come home to open up their code. I believe in that. One day everyone will see * * The Light * *. Guys like Alan Cox could tell them a thing or three or ten about proper interfacing to the kernel. Meanwhile, getting stuff to work is a consideration for Joe Lunch de Bucket, Les, me and a bunch of others. And, we deal with what we got as we can. :) Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
