Talking with Richard Hirst, it sounds like making this driver 64-bit clean would be non-trivial ... so this will probably be one of my pet project that takes a year to get finished :) > I've been using 32 bit kernels since then.

Cool, if your D270 also uses it, maybe you will get it ported before I do :) - Ryan
