Just noticed this warning in all dgnc_* files:

  *	NOTE TO LINUX KERNEL HACKERS:  DO NOT REFORMAT THIS CODE!
  *
  *	This is shared code between Digi's CVS archive and the
  *	Linux Kernel sources.
  *	Changing the source just for reformatting needlessly breaks
  *	our CVS diff history.
  *
  *	Send any bug fixes/changes to:  Eng.Linux at digi dot com.
  *	Thank you.

Seems unusual. Also get_maintainers.pl does not return any digi dot com addresses.
