It's currently not working I think; I cleaned it up a couple of months ago but I think some recent changes in API might have broken it again. It's a matter of solving the last breakages, having it committed into the arla -current repo, and then hopefully committing it to our own -current. I have the kernel infrastructure ready for building it both in the kernel and as a module. I even posted on -arch I think and the idea met a lukewarm favor. Note that I think the code still needs to be reviewed for the needed locks, but I was also suggested to get into the repo first (as long as it's working) and worry about that later. The only thing that stopped me at the time was that I definitely want to have it committed to the arla repo first and then import on a vendor branch, and keep it there by working with them for any and every future patch. I am sure that if a guy of your ability and experience would look at it, you could have it working in maybe half an hour. Setting up a client is very easy, and having Garance on board to help us test it would be a definite plus.
