WAIT! (sorry)
As far as I remember ACX project was was meant to be merged long time ago, but
it was halted because it's unknown legal status. The developers did not use
"clean room" while reverse engineering. This means that the same people who
reverse engineered the proprietary Texas Instruments driver wrote the linux
driver. No one says that the developers copied some TI code but after problems
with S.C.O. Group, Mr. Linville doesn't want any future trouble. Pulling ACX
code to any common tree without consulting Mr. Linville first is a bad idea.
