I can easily list several persons, but prefer just one. Of course anyone
can develop. Anytime in the future all the lastest driver sources should
be available via the driver list, so anybody can build a driver with
kbuild and test it on his station. IMO it makes much more sense to use
kbuild instead of patching and building the full source.

Corrected.

BTW have you seen my thread in the users lists
"http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5425101&forum_id=2358"
? Do you have a solution or a workaround?
