Again, it's not personal, it's the way we do things here. But you
should already know that by now so whatever.

What puzzles me the most here is why isn't Empia simply providing
datasheets to other developers as well. I mean, even the GPU and
wireless vendors know how to play well with the community now, so
what's the problem? Being locked to just one developer who's unwilling
to cooperate doesn't sound like a winning strategy to me.

Greg, is there any reason we don't have Markus' out-of-tree driver
listed here, btw:

  http://www.linuxdriverproject.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/OutOfTreeDrivers

Maybe there are people in the "Linux Driver Project" that could be
interested in working on this but simply don't know about it?
