Well, there was at one dissenter you contacted me some time ago, and said that the DPT was a bit to invasive. I've eyeballed the code and I don't think so, but I could be wrong. You can pick up a DPT driver patch kit from ftp.simon-shapiro.org Unfortunately, it seems down right now (most likely Simon is re-building his server again). > Also, maintainers of non-integrated drivers should check out the script > in src/tools/tools/kdrv.
