Howdy, I've contacted Simon several times over the last year. No driver has been forthcoming, even for testing purposes. Mark Salyzyn's driver has been working flawlessly for me on several 2.2.8 boxes, but I need them working on 3.x soonish. If that requires me porting the 2.2.8 driver, then I'll do so. I don't necessarily see anything wrong with duplicate efforts, but I can see problems in deciding which driver should be merged into the repository.
