How so? To describe how you didn't need a driver and how the
technology works in the background? You mean reverse engineering the

Yes, take a look at the staging area of the Linux kernel and port one
of those puppies over to proper after checking with the devel driver
list to see if someone is already not doing it. The nice thing with
this is you don't have to fight with a vendor already to get some code
out, the could would already be available to you and the code is in a
tree. All you'd have to do is fix it up for proper.
