Just a tiny little detail that might be interesting to anyone forming an opinion on all the pwc/linux stuff: ----------------------------------------------------------- The author of the pwc driver has publicly stated that this NDA has expired more than 1 year ago !!! ----------------------------------------------------------- Despite this he refuses to release the source code for the binary-only driver. Of course it is his right to do so: it is his code. But I think it is important for everyone to know this fact. greetings, Rob van Nieuwkerk
